Lane 1 is expensive because they don't manufacture their equipment. THey make the cores, ship them to brunswick, and brunswick pours the coverstocks around them. Cost also is greatly determined by pro shops. Some will sell you Buzzsaws for $250-$300 which is nuts. In other shops like 10th Frame Pro Shop in Spartanburg, South Carolina, run by FRank Spada (cheap plug) you can get them much lower. Go to his site 10thframeproshop.com, prices aren't listed, but a toll free number is. He will give you good pricing. I've been buying saws from him for around 3 years.
