With the general attitude and environment, I have absolutely no confidence that any of these companies will be around...next year, much less ten years from now. While Dead Air and Rugged are particularly impressive, I don’t know that they have enough of a track record for me to buy confidently at this point. Those companies with a track record, are pretty sketchy - AAC, Gemtech, or SIG - for reasons ranging from poor customer service, to simply instability due to buyouts.
Someone with more personal knowledge of the companies could probably assuage their concerns easier, but a grand is a fair chunk of money for me o fork out for a ‘maybe’.
