Wow! Paul! Thanks a BOATLOAD! That's exactly what I was looking for.

I know it won't be exact, but it gives me something to go by. At least
this way I'll know if someone is trying to give me short end of the stick
or not. I just didn't know what to call reasonable, or what to budget
for. Now I do.

Thanks!

L8r,
tg.

stainless grades are I think $0.75/lb or $75. min.
