I had one intertap and 2 Perlick 545 FC.
The 545 is the previous model and the intertap was the current model. The intertap was far better.
It's just the norm, the newer models iron out the kinks of the prior one. If I'm paying for kinks, I'll pay less than I need to.
The only time I ever bought Fosters was from uncle Dan's, which was brewed in the mother land and cheaper than local VB.
On a side point, I've seen Oettinger as a laget, Schwartz and Weiss in China. I'm trying to figure out how this stuff can sell for 80-90¢ a tin with the equivalent amount of...

Another option could be to grab an eBay jobbie, then buy a good quality pcb and refit. Some taps from craftbrewer to refit. Use your window of opportunity with SWMBO.
You keep your ball sack. If I walk outside my front door and take a photo of a non windy day, you'll see the air quality is still crap.
The other thing to ask, if so much stuff bought in Oz is Chinese made, why haven't the supply problems hit other products?
I can go for a trip on the train...
As for the rumour of "manufacturing has been shut down in China for air quality reasons", that was temporary for the pow wow the CCP had almost 2 months ago.
