FWIW:
it's quite silly to think that the casing is a substantial cost difference in a sense of differing tens of dollars. As someone said earlier, in this volume we are talking cents.
Also, AIQW is indeed the only one trying to supply facts over "gut feelings" and "logic". He's being unfairly singled out in this case.
And yes, experts have made silly remarks: Like Alu is heavier, so will cost more to transport.
1. It seems the poly is heavier.
2. It seems the poly is bigger, which is just as important in shipping costs.
AIQW was completely right challenging that... I do not understand why he's being scolded for that.
I'll do an assumption, with the @ss in mind as I'm no expert in this field, but do know a bit about retail: The manufacturing costs are not that important compared to what happens after it gets pooped form the bandwagon: marketing, shipping&handling, packaging, sales, administration etc.
I could be very wrong here, so I say this with the @sshat on my head^^. It's making a paralel with how it usually works (it's why cutting out a retail chain, like Dell did, is more important than cheap manufacturing)
