Sylvan, in your post YOU said SHIPPING was the reason, not cost:

"ps - please do not recommend the use of Phyllistran -- it is too
costly to have it shipped here :)"

Obviously if COST is an issue and you have local cheep sources for
insulators and grips, and you don't mind how it looks, go for it.

ps, nobody in Canada sells Philly?
