New 8x10 Cameras from Italy for under $1,000?

Has anyone used one of these?

Any good?

I don't know? dude! Looks kinda cheap. Just sayin' we all can find a used deardorf or something equivalent for a 1000-2000 USD. I would not feel comfortable putting up a grand for that design. It looks like it can fall apart rather quickly. I would rather spend extra money for a good used 10x8 , then buy a new ( whatever this thing is called) for a grand. If I had a grand for 10x8, I would wait patiently on the large format want ads. something is bound to come up. Just my two cents. GZ
