Thanks.
I did look at ML but the prices are all over the place and considerably more than the $25,000 that the linked article shows.
The craftsmanship is wonderful, I must say.
Ebay in the US and UK is another place to give you an idea of prices that are more realistic. ML prices are often inflated especially those of the house clearance dealers. I've seen the same second hand pipes still on sale there years after they were first posted...they just keep raising the price. I've picked up some great bargains there though. I got an antique Sasieni one dot for just a few quid on ML because the guy selling it hadn't a clue what it was. It's real worth starts at $1000.
