Ron, if I should NOT respond here, I will gladly delete this post. But I do feel compelled to say:

In my opinion "pedigree" alone may justify the additional cost, even if it's less well built than a Kirkham.

Fact is, one started life in Poland and the other in England. In this case it's about "breeding". I don't know much about art but I have looked at some high dollar paintings and wondered WHY it cost so much! Must be the pedigree?
