X1M 5 band QRP rig for £250?

See http://www.radioworld.co.uk/catalog/x1m_5-band_qrp_transceiver_kit_platinum_edition-p-11014.html?gclid=CMW2oamQg7wCFWcUwwodgyAAjQ  at £329.

This small Chinese transceiver is available for £329 from Radio World (and probably others).

To me, it still looks cheap and nasty, basically an immature product. The time will come (and quite soon) when Chinese QRP rigs will mature and steal the business from the "big boys" from Japan. The Yaesu FT817ND and the Elecraft KX3 will soon be under BIG price pressure.

The best price is reported to be £250 - a LOT less than its competitors.
