I see this differently. Competition in the market place is wonderful. The price of Tankzilla went down because of the DMCH equivalent. Competition in price will also make competition for new products. I could go to either DMCH or Grady for an Angle drive, but if I'm getting other parts as well and only Grady has the Stainless Steel visual improvements, I'd probably bring my business to Grady. Or vice versa (i'm not favoring one or the other, just making a point). There is nothing wrong, in my opinion, with DMCH producing the "same" upgraded parts as other vendors, and vice versa. I'm glad that upgraded parts ARE being produced!! Better yet, due to competition the prices are going down! Whats wrong with that?
