Well Gregory - I too think that a buyer should look at the whole deal, not just the package. I have at least two drummer-friends back here, who ask me to order something from the german ebay at least twice a month. they ALWAYS back out when I tell them that shipping costs would be 25euro at least, and there are also taxes.
Regarding the Designer double tom mount - it's simply the best piece of hardware on that series. Then come those spurs, etc. But, the hardware solution is what makes the Designer recognizable...
Goki, I have been converted to the Designer aesthetic.
The only thing I don't like about the Designer series (apart from stopping in and out GENUWINE veneers) is the throwoff. Yes, it does what it is designed to do and performs perfectly well, but wasn't designed and doesn't do what the TO2 or parallel did; and of those two, I particularly favor the TO2 for simplicity, light weight, and for not occupying the same space your leg is supposed to when playing..
