Brent, that's kinda like the difference between a Model B Fox and a Fox D grade small bore.

They both go bang and when pointed properly, birds will fall out of the sky. But there is a world of difference between the experience of using one or the other....a difference many people are prepared to quantify as worth $10,000 plus.

The very best tends to cost more.....and getting the last 10% to 15% of improvement tends to cost the most!

I spent many years in the footwear business including having my own designs made. When I look at a LeChameau Chasseur I am looking at what I think of as a very well made, calf high leather boot that has an exterior rubber layer. Not a "rubber boot". That would not be inexpensive to make anywhere. You could hardly pick a higher cost country to make them in than France.
