You're only seeing things from a designer perspective. For $1,150.00
you get 15"X14" travel, Kerk precision acme screws, Delrin nuts with
wear compensation and 4 linear ball bearings on each axis. Knowing what
you're losing when you pay less and vice versa is the fundamental basis
of an informed purchasing decision IMO. Frankly, the K2 1414 frame is
more attractive to me probably because, as end-user, I dare to compare.
