I bought the large ones on a garden show. It was discounted, but it did cost almost $200.00 and that was a long time ago. I am still able to cut any branch that fits into it with ease, and I am closer to 80 than 70 years old. I think it is better to get something that is good than have a lot that is not good, then you will buy the good one anyway. So you end up spending more money. If you check the Florian website, they do have sales sometimes.
