How low is very low?

Considering that most homebrew games don't go over 200 units, the pricing 
on the new shells is a bit high.  Don't get me wrong, this is a great 
development and I'm all for spending more on manufacturing in order to 
avoid cannibalizing old carts (which I don't like more from an 
archeological preservation angle vs. a time-sink one).

It would be nice to know whether we should pursue Patola after all or 
whether it's not worth the hassle.
