New Rab Infinity sleeping bag.

I do love Rab stuff, I really do, but I just can't get my head around their sleeping bag prices.
The new Infinity 300 is rated to +3'C and weighs a claimed 665g. It's their superlight bag using 850+ (US) down. All very good, nice fancy baffles blah blah. But £350, really, £350??? Why.
So, it's a silmilar weight to the PD400 and a similar temp rating. OK it's filled with 100g less down so it's going to pack slightly smaller. But it's £200 more expensive :!:
PHD are actually made in the UK (Rab are 'filled' in UK) and offer lighter, smaller, warmer bags for hundreds of pounds less and they will do a full custom service.
