Now that the Chinese have seen a bit of interest in their old brushes they will do what they always seem to do and over produce the new brushes and within a few years even the expensive ones will be offered at give away prices just to get rid of unwanted inventory.

I warned them of this in the late eighties and they paid no heed to my warning. They over produced many items I was or am selling and found they had such an over stock they started selling at less than cost, I saw items on amazon that were selling for less than my cost FOB China recently, once these items were gone they are not available anymore, if they had just watched their market they would still be making many of these items.
