Hey, considering what I paid for the Johnson CM30P7-1, I think the price of an MCP 600 is a bargain at any time. I'm happy with what I've got for now, but if the MCP 600 had been out at the time, I would have bought that one (still may, in the future --that aluminium housing begs to be sandblasted and polished to a chrome shine...). I would consider paying $270,-- for an MCP 1200, especially if it comes in a similar aluminium housing...

People have to realise that quality costs. You can't expect a powerful, reliable and solid pump for peanuts. I always find it surprising that people will readily pay an additional $100,-- on a graphic card for a few fps. more, or (more ludicrously) pay an additional $100,-- per strip of RAM of lower latency, even though the overall speed gain is 2%. A $200,-- pump would be real-life quality value in comparison!
