It doesn't. Avoiding your local model shop for the sake of a few quid means that people do not see the sport easily and we get less people into clubs and racing. See the post from Roger M on the other thread for the full reasoning - it's well said.
I really don't buy this argument that cost is everything to everyone. Anywhere you look (cars, hi-fi, 'phones, food, clothes, fuel, etc.) people do not buy the cheapest. They sue their obey where their priorities are, otherwise everyone would be in Lidl and Aldi, running around in Dacias, buying their fuel at supermarkets, etc.
If this is all about getting people to Regionals, and low cost is the key, why would people want to spend more money going to a Regional just because they saved a tenner on their cell? It seems the argument is that people would spend £20 on fuel to get to a meeting if only they could save £10 on a battery. Why not stay at the club with your cheaper battery and not spend anything on the fuel?
Nice to see that although the posts seem to against the lists in the main, the vote is for the lists.
