[C320-list] Call For C320 Pricing Help

Re: Price comparisons between Catalina and Beneteau.  

I have noted that when comparing boats of similar age and size, the hardware on the Beneteaus seems to be, in general, about a size or two smaller (i.e. primary and genoa winches, travelers, vangs, furling, etc.).  I suspect that this accounts for much of the pricing difference (in some cases up to $500 per winch, for example).  This seems to carry over to smaller items as well (i.e. door latches, trim fittings, etc).  Makes the comparison sort of "apples to oranges."
