Each to their own?

The latest MLS video "something for the weekend" is about learning CW. 

I could not help noticing their advert for a deluxe straight key for nearly £210 . 

Now, each to their own, but my first CW key was tapping a wire on a piece of copper laminate used for the rig. Price? £0. 

I have nothing against good dealers making a fair profit, but is this really sending out the right message to attract new amateurs?

If MLS have any issues with me posting this I shall remove it immediately.

Incidentally over the years I have had excellent service from MLS.

A paper clip screwed down at one end, tapping on top of the drawing pin works well too.

I suppose if you buy the Hilberling at £14'000.00 the £220 key is a drop in the ocean. :-)

Each to ones own.
