I think this is an exception to the rule; maybe MEC just has really good buyers? I don't really know.
Or something. Weird. You would think a high volume company like REI would be able to negotiate a pretty good price. Could it be that MEC sells more than REI? Hard to imagine given the number of stores REI has vs. MEC. Dunno.

Well, shoot. I was hoping it meant that MSR was going to ease up on the price of the Whisperlite Universal. I wonder if people are really going to pay $140 for a Whisperlite. For a few bucks more, you can get a Primus Omnifuel which has wonderfully precise build quality, AND you don't have to switch the end of the fuel hose when you go from liquid to gas or vice versa.
