Rod,

I very much agree that price should not be a sole factor when making any
purchase.
  
You should note though that I did not lock into price as the major
consideration. I was just making a comment against their statements in the
letter indicating that Planet Domain have the best wholesale prices
available. 

My comment about the competitiveness of their pricing was based on
considering other factors such as service, flexibility and the company
involved.

I reached my opinion that their prices are not very competitive because I
personally feel that Planet Domain's service offering and purchase system is
too inflexible to the needs of businesses that package domains with other
web services.
