I think the quality argument, while true in alot of cases, is missing the real point. The point is, knock-offs are just that, knock-offs. They require no original though from the company manufacturing them, and they are the result of stolen intellectual property. If this were a bigger industry with lots of money to throw at lawyers, like the music or record industry, this would be unacceptable.
I don't have a problem with inexpensive well manufactured kits, so long as they are original. A manufacturer has the right to set their own prices for their products and not have those products duplicated and their price undercut. Alot of money does go into the R&D of any product and I think if you were footing that bill so someone else could profit off it you would see that point. If you don't like the price cause it is too high, by all means by another kit.
