New standing rigging costs

[pcatterall]

I have started some queries about aspects of this and many thanks for the responses. Also some other recent questions from other forum members.
We want to renew the standing rigging on the mizzen of our 10m Neptunian in Spain. Mast lift seems difficult where we are so we want to do our own.
We had a decent measurement ( I'm a surveyor ...what could go wrong!?) but initially were going to buy over length and use Sta-Lok at the bottom.
Sta-Lok studs seemed expensive so we thought that we would try one stay made up to our measurements with swages both end.
I investigated costs and asked on here if there were cheaper options than the 'famous' chandlers.
In the end I purchased a made up stay from GS products, it arrived within 2 days of my order and I attach a photo. It is all in 306 grade and the ( metric) threads look good.
This is in 5mm wire with an overall length of 5m.
The total cost for the 4 x5m stays and the 2 x 8m stays will be £336 against £760 quoted elsewhere. I note another recent question about DIY Rigging. This is just for my mizzen and in 5mm wire so some extrapolation needed for the main.
The ordering was simple and I had good communication with the actual fabricator.
What am I missing!!?

Have just paid £1750 for complete standing rigging and a new furler on a 21 foot boat: you could perhaps use that as a comparison
