If you are buying new, you will pay a premium for the Sting (actually true of many of the Flexifoils).
You can get some good deals on used ones.
Mellow, forgiving kite with progressive, predictable power build up, and a fair tolerance for gusts.
Good ground recoveries, and the second generation Sting has much nicer mesh on the inlets than the Bullets did.
On one of the Stings I got, the brake lines were wwaaaaaaaaayyy too long. It was miserable to fly until the brakes were dialed in/adjusted.

One of my smaller Stings was purchased through him.... came quickly, all shiny, crispy and complete with new kite smell.
