Because with $150,000 he was looking to go with retail packaging, and sell it retail. With $75,000, the lowest amount the manufacturer would take, it will be an OEM product. Brown box, simple manual instead of fancy printed manual etc. Why you have to be so negative about a product that is designed to help the community is beyond me. Like the article said, he has made the original version for years, and the original has been very well received. He is just trying to make a version that can be mass produced at a cheaper price so he can have more time to design other products.
