I guess nowadays £14k doesn't seem a lot of money now that the likes of the Phantom raised the bar in terms of quality. Back then it seemed like a hell of a lot having just paid about £3k for the Cobra kit.
Still you get what you pay for at the end of the day and I havn't heard of a Phantom owner complaining yet.
I do hope they can keep it in kit form - long enough at least for me to save up
