I do wish you success! I'm currently reading Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. It's a very good read. Jobs also had to compete with the overseas low pay scale and saw big price discrepancies in Apple products. I'm not at that point in the book yet, but he did later build everything overseas. Will higher automation bring back production to the US?

Obviously a comparable US-built product isn't going to be able to compete with that. That's why Morningstar makes their controllers overseas, and part of the reason they're so successful.

When/if it gets to the point that Chinese are offering the same quality, customer support, and warranty as American companies, all for $25, then it will be time to reassess the market.
