Imran,
It (DRO plus 1 meter magnetic band) was CAD$ 69 when I bought it in November.
The only thing I do not like is the cable is too long, I need to shorten it, not so easy to do if you do not have the right tools. I did not find the DRO with the short cable though.
Besides, you cannot turn it off like it is mentioned in the youtube video. The manual says two batteries will last a year.

James,
How much is the M503?
I did not contact them but the prices shared here were on par with Fiama F7 (about $300). I splurged for F8 for larger display digits. I also liked the design Stan Blaszczyk created.

I do not know why FIAMA DRO is so expensive.
I watched?, bought the very affordable M503 DRO with 1 meter magnetic?band at CAD$ 69, received in 12 days. I am building the DRO F&F jig now, it also can be used as a DRO parallel guide.
