I believe it is only but a handful of us oldtimers knowing one of "the real sources" (i.e. the one you mean as the manufacturer) for thin sections, and willing to pay a bit more for quality, which always, I mean ALWAYS counts in the end... :-)

Look at Ebay - you will usually see a lot of cheap crappy sections offered there for comparably little money, and I believe, many thin section enthusiasts still have to learn that quality makes a difference!

These are great - immediately agreed!
