  for $20/day? Well not really. U-Haul wants $0.50 / mile in most of the US. So it's really a lot higher unless you're near a location and not moving very far.

Might have something to do with minimizing vibrations etc. IIRC most spectrophotometers from university were somewhat smaller and lighter, so seeing the 100 Euro used Perkin Elmer was something of an unpleasant surprise......
