LOL - I was reading further and noticed that they're charging $171US extra for the silver over the copper one. Crap! There's less silver by weight in one of these things than there is in a Cascade SS by the looks of the design, and I was able to import 99.998% pure silver into the country, and after all taxes, shipping charges, and other overheads, pass it on to people for $88 US.

Methinks that someone is out to make a tremendous amount of profit from what probably amounts to about $55US worth of Sterling Silver cost value.

Edit: Checking their web-site, 225g is the total block weight, including the top-plate, clamping bolts and barbs. The Cascade SS uses a 225g silver plate to start from.
