Slow N Sear question

[Hofy]

I see things have really changed since the last time I looked at a Slow N Sear. Besides company name the biggest thing I noticed is how much prices have dropped.  Does anyone know if this is because of manufacturing design changes and volume or are these now being made in China?

All what you said and they went with lower grade SS to make products. I have the 2.0 but my dad has the 1st gen SnS which he loves. So they have changed things but still heavy and works.
