nwreprap.org or mixshop.com for Prusa Mendel i2 kit (4 replies)

Hello Reprapers,

I am new to the reprap community and would like to build my first Prusa Mendel i2 printer. Everyone is recommending buying a kit online. I made my research to buy a kit and found that nwreprap.org offers a kit for $799 ! while mixshop.com offers the kit (without the plastic parts) for $439

the mixshop offers the kit for almost half the price of newreprap !!

I need your help clarify why there is a huge difference in the price while offering the same thing ( if they offer the same thing).

does nwreprap have more stuff in the kit while mixshop is missing stuff? or its just a quality thing?

thanks
