The DC4 is not to expensive either compared to 2 or 3 grades of DMTs

Hmmm ... that wasn't the answer I was hoping for. It wasn't as much the cost as the fact that I could pick up one of the DMT products easily when I stop by MEC to get a few supplies before my next trip instead of ordering a DC4 online (I hate paying for shipping, but then usually end up buying more than I intend to get the "free" shipping!).

Thanks for letting me know though, I guess I should start shopping around for a DC4.
