Very true. Especially since not only here, but all over the world companies look to have their product made out of house for financial reasons. When multiply companies have the same product it comes down to us, the consumer, to decide how much of that mark up we want to pay that same product. Now Im not saying ALL companies have products made out of house. But those companies left that do in-house R/D and build their own product are far and few between. If they contract the product to be made by someone else, whats to say that when its sold under a different name its any better that a lesser 'reputable' shop. With the increase in 'knockoff' companies on the rise the past few years with cheaper prices for the exact same product its not hard to see how the big gun companies can decline
