In my case after doing a research I decided to go with the SPF but my garage have Porsche's and AMG's so is really not limited budget is a smart buy for me. I can use the extra 30k price tag to play and still having the same reproduction car.
I think you have few that can afford one, two or three CSX or an original piece but bang for the buck plays into it for some. That does not change what the market is doing with these cars. If 3rd party manufacturer's are to get a piece of the pie they need to undersell the competition and I don't consider SAI to be in that category, SAI is catering to a different class of enthusiast where pedigree is part of the package.

FYI, Jay Leno's 427 is not an original, it was built by Mark Garish in WI who built body bucks and hammered out the aluminum body for Jay.
