Paul,
  thanks for plugging away at it and finally getting them to cough up a
price. Unfortunately those prices must be retail, or very close to it.
 The prices from the UK are about $25US cheaper AND include shipping to
Los Angeles!! I am amazed that Performance is not interested in
breaking the US market. Well, their loss is Superlite UK's gain.
Thanks again for your help.

Christopher
