I'm of a similar mind set. It's become too easy to explain away higher prices due to what we've witnessed in the last few years. War, inflation, labor shortage, raw material cost to name a few can justify an increase but there are always those fringe companies/individuals that push the limits. Only time will tell if these prices will be supported by buyers. For me, I'm glad I purchased most of my system when I did.
