The price seems to be a deal breaker. However, during some downtime I sourced the pricing of plain old carbon steel plate, 1/4 inch thick, from US sources. A single piece 24" square, sheared to shape (not plasma or CNC laser cut) ran from the high $40's to low $70's. Plasma or laser cutting would nearly double the price at one site. I could not find a price for a disc so I am assuming that configuration would have to cost more. Then the legs and handles, and the labor, and the price is probably not that out of line because the company needs to make a profit. If it takes off, maybe sourcing in large quantities would lower the material cost and bring the price down, possibly considerably. Time will tell. But the concept is rather nice.
