Where did I suggest that Disco2 should go make one?

In response to the OP's question, I thought I'd said that I didn't think they represented good value for money, having given a reason why, and that I was pretty tempted to go make one for myself.

Not what I call value for money.

Very tempted to buy the adaptors but just make the rest myself
Yep that's exactly what I said.

They could sell them at half the price and still make a very tidy profit thank you very much. They charge what they charge because they can get away with it. That's because like the majority of responses in this thread, their customers consider that it's 'worth it'
No, just as I thought, I didn't.

The other thread Mark, get over it. This thread, nothing's been done to rattle your cage, grow up.
