Happy Valley,
I too am a fan of Staton's designs. He is pretty much a one man operation, and his strong point is his products - not his communication or product promotion. If you are aware of this and are willing to accept it going in, you can expect to have a reasonably good experience with his products.
Regarding Staton's pricing relative to his competition though:
When BMP lowered the price of their product on eBay to close to the $100 mark (I don't remember the exact figure), Staton matched this price on his eBay listings for his equivalent friction drive. If you wanted a good friction drive at the time, that was one heck of a deal!
Lastly, I do not understand the great loyalty for BMP that their customers profess on this site. BMP was a simple and reliable friction drive, but nothing particularly special.
