We're talking apples and oranges here. folks.

IMHO that Alma Tadema Steinway would equate to a Bugatti Royale.
        -Boesendorfer ~ Bentley
        -Steinway ~ Cadillac
        -beaucoup makes ~ Chevy, Volvo, Peugeot, Citroen, Saab, Etc.
        (ya pays ya money and takes ya choice)
        -Brambach & spinets ~ Yugo

BTW, I like the idea of half-shipment, but the Marianas trench is much
closer to China than the Atlantic.
