Makes sense.
The difference between HLJ and the two other stores is much bigger now with the current exchange rate. I wonder if that's the reason why it still has stock from MP-25 and up.
HLJ seems less strict and is easy to communicate with, but for a $20 difference I'm thinking about trying AE for MP-36.
