A bugpack from RMMW is most likely the same as a bugpack from anyone else. I'm not a big extended warranty type myself, but if for a few extra beans you can buy from RMMW and know you will get a lifetime replacement warranty for a product you know is going to fail (because they all fail because they are all cheaply made regardless of who you buy from) what's the down side? Yes, I would rather have a product that is well made and that I am confident will not wear prematurely, or better yet will not ever wear out. Unfortunately, for some parts this is not an option and in those cases I'd rather buy from someone who stands behind their garbage, even if they charge a little more for it :-) Mark |
