G3 Climbing Heels

There must be something I don't understand about this climbing...

There must be something I don't understand about this climbing heel - I can buy this and get two different-size wires for $26, or I can buy separate wires for ~$22 each and attach them to my present heel? Is there any reason to pay more to buy the separate wires and not this?

This price is for a PAIR of heels, not just one. That definately makes it cheaper to get new ones then spend $22 a piece on wires.

You're not understanding what you actually get for those prices. This heel only gets you one heel for 26 bucks, so you'd pay 52 for the whole setup. The wires are a set of 2 so if you already had the heel, you'd only pay 21 for the upgrade in whatever length you want.
