The cheapest SPF Cobra roller on the Hillbank site is $57,000, but I assume that a base roller (no options) is slightly cheaper. The SPF GT40 roller is $110,000. So, the SPF GT40 roller is roughly 2x the cost of an SPF Cobra roller.

I just don't think the GT40 reproduction is $53,000+ more complex than a Cobra replica. Certainly other replica GT40 companies can reproduce their GT40 copies for roughly half the cost.
