Back to the OP, a huge part of the costs with something is development. Luckily for my sake, engineers get paid pretty well. In the case of surefire, they have Americans working on this stuff for a really long time to make it right. In the case of the knock off, someone in China buys the legit product and learns how to make it with (in most cases): substandard parts, materials, and manufacturing techniques. The savings are passed on to the customer.
