I have been using elixirs for some time now and am happy with them. they too are
expensive with retail around $70, however I can usually find a discount
somewhere on the net in the $30 range. Anyone else use these? would like to hear
any other opinion on them.

I've heard alot of good things about the Pyramids but they are out of my price
range.
$70 a set. Ouch.
