  I would suspect he's talking about the more blatant imitators, ie the 
  Cobra replica manufacturers.  I would imagine at this point several
  times as many replicas as originals are rolling around, and many
  manufacturers claim to be better than the original.  

  I'd love to own a replica, but still it must be a bit galling to see
  so many companies making a killing on knockoffs of your idea.
