Good tip [ THANK YOU!!!!!]

it's a Good deal and CC restocks promptly
Picked up 3 for less the price of a single Fiire chief or commander

I realize the nice feature of Fiire products is the guaranteed that the drivers will work.
But the prices are steep for what you get.
From the Engine (MCE server) to Stations (clients) and even things like cables.

Is there a middle ground anywhere else?

I can put together a configuration myself, but is there a list of equipment that will work? (Im assuming thats what makes Fiire attractive) -- also their stuff is 1080i only -- any advise here?
