All of these things seem bit extreme when you can just buy a good penknife and a single edged razor blade. Mostly, it seems to me, you're paying for their instruction book

Yeah, but that's not specific to the specific tools and "system", so we're not supposed to comment.

I think I was actual commenting on both systems, anyway life's too short and money's too tight. I can get at least two boxes of reeds for the price of these things, most, if not all will play and I'll be a happy bunny who hasn't spent time fiddling with something that probably still won't be that good. And I can get all the reed fixing info I need off the internet, for nothing.
