rmax/rpeak.  it's really the most interesting part of the list;
the actual ranking is just a matter of funding.

3000 would be an impressive discount, since the list is around $5900.

it's massively discounted, and probably not repeatable.  it would be 
nice to know the best-published prices, as well as what it would cost 
to "fix" the ECC.
