Yes, I've used both ... the Blum's are excellent, a bit more pricey as I
recall (I paid $20.35 a pair for the 21" Hittich's last time I bought
them,
plus a $1.41 per pair of catches),

Price update ... less than a year later ... today I bought 20 pairs of the
21" Hittich QuadroV6's and they were $22.92 and $1.69, respectively.

Inflation? ... nahhh, couldn't be.

If they're imported from Europe, maybe it's the devaluation of the US
dollar against the Euro? Over the past year the dollar has lost about
10% of its value compared to the Euro, which maps fairly closely to your
price differential.

And they are European slides. Just doing the math in my head that's what,
about an 11% increase in the slide price?

.... I'd bet that you're correct.
