Yes, in a previous post, I did intimate that it a printed copy would cost, but be cheaper. However I fully disagree with you on the print quality, especially the 1:25k. Cheaper paper, thickness of lines (footpaths, & contours) etc. Also I personally think they've been putting too much info, such as the blue 'touristy' symbols which often block information under.
