My cost in the group order $3950.74, that includes all flying wires and stainless fittings, does not include shipping.

I contacted Dave @ Steen for the prices and they are:
Single order: $4446.88
Group discount price: $3950.74 (as Ed mentioned)

So the discount is good, but not as as big as previous years. This is probably due, in part, to currency valuations of U.S. dollar.

I decided to check through the old posts and see what past prices have been and this is what I was able to find:
2005 Single order: <unknown>
2005 Group discount price: 2196.00

2007 Single order: 2700.00 (approximate)
2007 Group discount price: 2100.00 (approximate)

2010 Single order: 3998.72
2010 Group discount price: 3187.20

2011 Single order: 4028.40
2011 Group discount price: 3116.12

2013 Single order: 4446.88
2013 Group discount price: 3950.74

As you can see, every few years prices go up to the point that the previous single order price (roughly speaking) becomes the new discount price.

Hey guys thanks again for the insight on the wires, I'm sure I'll have a few more questions as I get back into the building mode.

I too called Dave at Steen today, and placed my order. He wanted me to remind all that he is looking to submit the order very soon, so as thy say "last call" 8-) But seriously he wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to get in on the order.

I also want to thank my good friend Kevin up in Tulsa, OK at Airman Acres for letting me know an order was underway.
