Can HPR survive with $100 J motors?

Last check of inventory showed that J motors account for only 4% of the personal inventory. A stash of G's reign supreme and will likely last for years to come. Even with the recent price hikes, there are needs to be filled. A recent new local dealer discount offer pulled the trigger for an Aerotech J275W. Even at a discount, it's more than twice what I paid for previous J's but when there is a niche to fill, high cost pain can be suppressed for the sake of completeness.

BMS is 5 minutes from me. I have become friends with Bill. Real nice guy.
If that were the case for me, I'd be considerably poorer... but I'd have much more rocket stuff!

Added: ... because I hate shipping charges, so it's a good thing that I don't live there!

I'm kind of glad that i'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to my hobbies. I can't hardly walk into a hobby shop or HL with walking out with something. If they don't have rockets I want I grab wadding, motors something. When I got my level 1 I started looking at all the rockets in my build pile and started looking for motors. Figured If I was going to pay a Hazmat fee then I'm only paying it once this year and bought a ton of F, G and H motors. My current stock of A thru E should take me well into 2024 :)

Bill has told me in the past that I'm his best customer. I have 180+ rockets. Most of the parts are from BMS.
