Is this worth the cost?

well it is aluminum and anodized and is a drop in replacement..... or you could just do a mdf or hardwood ring..... or better yet, just go for a revelator 15M and widen the speaker hole AND save 5.6$

Many people want the drop-in. It is likely a small run, so MFG costs are high.

Why not offer the ring by itself? Maybe the $124.70 price tag. Roman, can you offer these at a better price?

Roman, Javed, Kerry and many others can fabricate the rings, but not sure there is a market for these, unless you have one busted 13M, but with this you will need to replace both of the 15m.

If you are into astronomy, there is a steady demand for custom milled aluminium pieces, even the branded stuff looks like  hand made, hand polished stuff and promptly gets reflected in the price. Also low demand keeps the price up for the few who must have it.

The aluminium outriggers turned by Javed on his strafi build are gorgeous....

Use your best judgement and profitablity.
