I notice it is "minimum cost." What happens when you try to graph average or maximum cost. Minimum cost products aren't always necessary as good quality as they were in 2003 (though I'm welcome for someone to prove me wrong).

By "minimum cost" I believe Andrew is factoring in things like sales, coupon codes, etc; not saying "this is the crappiest ESC money can buy".

Until the introduction of the Talon SP, the cheapest legal ESCs have been the best ESCs in competition; the Jaguars were generally more expensive and also worse.
