Wow, since I actually AM Ryan316 & saw my own name in few posts above being slammed by some fat retard named Saiga TNT standing next to some hoopdies, let me take a few minutes to join this site and reply:
#1. I simply LIKED this gun better than the Tromix versions, kinda like some people like Mustangs and some like Camaros. So sue me! I will get the SAW grip though, as it does fit my hand better.
#2. I get paid pretty well. If I want to spend $1800 on a gun, I will. When I bought it, the actual auction wasn't for a while & it wasn't worth my time to try to get it for $100
