I didn't read through your whole post, so you may have made this point. But it doesn't really cost that much less to make a product in China over what it costs to make that same product in the U.S. or Canada or Europe. So if you are getting something cheap, it's probably because it's made more cheaply. Sure, the labor costs are lower in China, and there is a multiplier effect. Magicshine and their clones have an advantage of not having an engineering or marketing staff to support.
