I agree with you. My observation from the Tucson show '07 to Tucson '08 was that the prices of the better quality fireball strands skyrocketed in one year (I'm sure the weak U.S. $ has something to do with this). Many of the dealers that had the better quality strands last year had none this year. However, many dealers that had no fireballs last year, had so many lesser quality strands this year and these were definitely not cheap.
