You can give many examples when "
good design and good reputation of durability" brought very good companies to bankruptcy. Just because somebody knew how to BS more people.
This is the point. Do you know many people who is willing to pay extra 2000-3000 $$$ for extra efficiency that is tested only in lab environment? When did you check copper prices last time? HX especially monster size like Bras_C is installing cost A LOT OF $$$.
Check the first post where AC stated the goal. He started this thread as DIY BUDGET FOCUSED. WSHP became VERY EXPENSIVE gadget for no reason just because it is "special". He broke this myth by building his GSHP from NOTHING.
