Also, phils are machined (quite beautifully, in my opinion) from a solid aluminum cyclinder, polished to a fine shine, and anodized or painted. There's a reason they're expensive, it's because they're expensive to produce. Isn't it also a relatively small operation, based in this country?
PW bearings have both a different grease and much more grease in them than industrial motor bearings.
