Cost and Value are two distinctly different entities.
If you can persuade your community of the value of FIRST, then there is a chance the cost issue will resolve itself with increased funding.

Amen. When I worked at Linens 'n Things, we had a large portion of product that we called "Value Merchandise". For five years, to the chagrin of my manager, I called it what it was: "cheap crap" -- there was no *value* in it; most of it wasn't worth the pittance it cost.
Value means a high-quality product at a price worth paying. FRC is an excellent product, but I think that the cost is prohibitive for many. If we can maintain the quality but lower the cost, I think that would be one of the greatest changes FIRST could make.
