How long till you think that Cuben will go down in price, if ever?

Many moons my friend.

Yeah, considering there is only one source for it. No competition= too bad.

Think in years to decades, if other high-tech textiles are any indicator.

So in other words I better stick to ripstop nylon to save money

It pretty much always comes down to:

Inexpensive, Ultralight, Durable: Pick two.

chances are that by the time it goes down there will be something even lighter you'll be drooling over

So true. Though, overall, you're getting more and more of each catagory as technology advances in both new materials and the making of existing materials cheaper to produce.

This is true of so many things. Cell-phones and televisions jump to mind immediately. So I recommend the same course of action now: Get what you can afford now and don't worry about what's around the corner.
