Do you live outside of the US? Within the US I'd argue the smx shipping is quite reasonable. The crate weighs 255 lbs, is custom made and it's delivered by freight. Within the US the total is about $1800-1900. For a perfect, modern arcade quality stage that can be configured anyway you can imagine it's well worth it.
