I am pretty sure the manufacturer would have costed the first unit quite high. Production runs are alway cheaper and is no comparison.
Engineering places are alway very very expensive for single runs, there are certain costs involve setting up machinery and more that would add costs, I received a quote for my EQ Platform for 2 radius's only at $480.00 me supplying the wood. I also ask for a run of 20 and the cost came down drastically nearly $200.00 each. There is always a down time from other projects to setup machinery. Engineering workshops are more suitable for manufactures considering production run than hobbiest unless you know someone.
Seeing EQ radius change with location I could not make a production run of them via an engineering company so I decided to make the manufacturing equipment myself.
