So why are MKS servos so much more?

So why are MKS servos so much more?

Because people like money!!

Lots of reasons, just like anything else...you pay some for each materials, manufacturing labour, marketing, management labour, other overhead, shipping, margin for each middle man, etc. Whoever spends the least can charge the least. That said, I think Bluebird offers a good value and I'm very happy with mine, but I do expect the prices to rise as they become more popular. I'm pretty sure MKS used to be a budget brand.
