Although the idea is a cool one two people swinging blunt swords in a ring looks kind of silly. I think larger groups is whee this kind of sport could gain attraction, if at all.

The ACL is much better than that other one. Who the fuck thought putting armored knights in a boxing ring was a good idea?

depends how intricate, and how good the armourer is,

something like this harness by Mac, you're looking at $30,000+
similar prices for the best in the UK and Scandinavia, about $20K for the best eastern europeans.

a lot of makers in the 8-12K bracket.

something by Bubba from the SCA? $500ish.

You know, that seems like a lot, but considering the comparative cost in the middle ages, 30k isn't even that much. Pretty interesting stuff.
