May 1 at 18:10 comment added Peter - Reinstate Monica Around this price (which is above cheap but below amateur competition) there may be a sweet spot even with respect to maintenance. The issue is often seals which are missing on cheaper components' bearings. More expensive may become less robust; much less expensive will get lower design and manufacture quality.
