Almost twice as expensive! I remember when the Super Record stuff hit the west coast we were shocked at the price! Friends referred to it as "Stooopid Record" (a sour grapes thing because everyone had to have it as soon as they could scrape together the cash)! Titanium back then was Space Race unobtainium.
Nice part about now-a-days is the SR stuff seems almost cheap on eBay... the good part of getting older ;)
