Ive just purchased an Ebay 33" 180w bar for $130 and they dont look too shabby after looking at a few reviews. It seems that those who do the positive reviews dont have the coin to compare with the industry leader and it makes sense. I dont regret my purchase because I can buy 10 cheap bars for the price of a Rigid and the cheap ebay knock off still throws alright light but get a load of this video. The comparison is a few minutes in.
