Doesn't negate what?

If you ask "How much does a car cost?" The answer is not "Here are some articles about people buying Lamborghinis that cost $250,000".

Most people are using a middle of the road 1.5 T machine.

I never said I was talking about averages ct machines any more than a brand new 787-9 is the average plane. You can get a 20 year 737 for a lot less than 200mil, and is probably closer to the average.

If your point is that MRIs less than 3T exist, I agree. If your point is that cheaper MRI exist, I agree. If your point is that nobody has spent 3 mil on a CT, then I disagree. A link showing the price of used machines 10-15 years old isn’t going to change that.
