Hello Mike
 it really sounds like you are under pressure.
 I cannot confirm that the price of the MonoPoly inflated very much the
 last ten years. I started looking for one in 1998, and back then they
 costed here in Germany around 1000 to 1100 DeutschMarks (450-500 Euros).
 Today you will get a good Monopoly for 600 Euros. I think this is not
 too bad. And a MP is really worth that money. It is well built, I has no
 known problems like the Polysix with its battery, or the ProOne with
 its keyboard. I am taking the MP since ten years on stage and it never
 showed a single failure.
 I can definitely recommend it and I can tell you it is worth saving your
 money.
