Not a repair question, so maybe this is OT, but...

Why do you suppose at solidstate.com, the Winegard MS 1000 antenna,
which doesn't include an amplifier, costs the same as the Winegard MS
2000 which does have a built-in amplifier 60 dollars. This is a
round omnidirectional antenna that looks like a flying saucer.

FWIW, the 2000 even includes 50 feet of cable that the one without the
amp doesn't include.

Does that mean the amp in the one with an amp is really cheap?

Does that in turn mean that one of the amps they sell for 50 or 60
dollars without an antenna is many times better?

Does that mean one should buy the one without the amp and then get a
separate amp if necessary?

Thanks.

criticized if I don't include links.
