I agre with you that there prices are too high but I do not agree with
you that the Veritas chain drive is better than the LN chain drive. The
LN chain drive is a much simplier mechanism. Look at all the parts
involved with the Veritas!

Also, to make a good decision about differences between the two, I'd
need to see them. The machining might be better on the LN - at this
point I don't think either of us know.

BTW, Lee Valley/Veritasis one of my favorite companies so please don't
interpret me as a disparaging LV/Veritas. LN is also one of my favorate
companies......
