ok, you show me where you can get a pocket tech digi for less than $120 + shipping online, and i'll admit i'm wrong...you are probably thinking of other digis man...you can get cheap digis for like $40-$50..just like you can get cheap subwoofers for $40-$50 bucks. i've had this digi for 3 years now and it still measure exactly to the .1 every time..without fail. as for the pipes, i don't think it's in question that glass is glass, and like i said, you can spend your money on new glass, or used glass....but glass does not wear, depreciate, or lose value...kind of like gold...
