Anyone See These TV Tap Handles W/LCD Display?

So I just saw these new tap handles and they look like a very cool new product to dress up the kegerator and bar. They are a little pricey though.....

See what you think http://www.love2brew.com/TV-Tap-LCD-Tap-Handles-p/dis025.htm

Good idea. Seems a little gimmicky though. And the product description was pretty funny to read. I would consider buying one if they werent so dang expensive. Id rather had a digital tap board for the money.

Yea that's what I thought the price needs to be a little more reasonable. More like half price and I would be considering it. Still pretty slick though....

Yeah I was checking these out a couple weeks ago. Cool idea but like you said, pretty darn pricey. I'd be in it $1000 for my five taps. Also, only 15-18 hours per charge? That doesn't seem very practical for most applications. It also says the $199.99 is a pre-order introductory price, which makes me think they'll increase in price after the initial offer. Cool idea, but I think I'll stick with my custom made barrel stave tap handles.

So, $1200 for a six pack?

That price would have paid for my 6 tap 13cf chest freezer, the RPi2B and Arduino that run the compressor using BrewPi and the fully metered RaspberryPints tap list - including the pricey SF800 meters - the 19" display, the dolly I built that houses all the electronics...plus my two Craig's List 17cf fridges (one of them literally brand new/never used) AND 3 of my 16 kegs.

So, no...

Cheers!

Yea Microbus and Trippr that's crazy money! I'll stick to my tall pub tap handles that have circle chalk board inserts. They work fine, I just write what beer is on tap. Trippr that is a sweet setup brother!
