+2 there.

For $499 it wasn't even a deal, for $549 it's a joke.

I disagree. Even though they perform the same, you can't compare the cost of an X50 to the cost of these remotes. The manufacturing cost of a remote RD is significantly higher than a windshield mounted RD. If you want a decent remote, but don't want to spend $1000+, these M4 remotes are priced nicely. I think nearly everyone here has lost a little perspective, since the discontinued STi-R was priced about the same as these new M4 remotes, but remember the STi-R was $1100 before it was discontinued. These M4 remotes cost half that.

I look at it as the same performance you get from an X50 for over $200 more, doesn't make sense to me.

I guess to those that don't want it seen it may
