They do look good, and as long as your satisfied with them, thats the main thing. Im just a numbers guys, and having experience in both casting products and patternmaking, and cast iron is only around $1 a pound to have cast, so where is the extra $470 coming from in the price, when 3 other competitors of the same/similar products cost less than half of these. I guess that was the basis of the questioning to begin with. Just asking for an explanation, thats all.
