.22 suppressor deals?

I'm sure there are many reasons to spend more, but quiet isn't one of them.

I disagree. With something like a .22 where its already a quiet round, subsonic ammo is pretty cheap I think sound should be #1 especially when even your most expensive can is still under $500. In the case with a 5.56 suppressor where you will never get it really quiet then other factors take the lead like weight, length, POI shift, etc.

I meant that every .22 can I've heard is quiet, from my $150 one to $400 ones. I've heard mine about next to one that cost more than double and my ears couldn't tell the difference.

Customer service, ease of breakdown and cleaning, calibre range, mounting options are all good reasons to spend more on a can. But all I've heard are quiet with subsonic ammo.

Ok I gotcha. I think ease of breakdown and cleaning, especially on a 22 can should be ranked high. Not sure about mounting options on a rimfire can as all of the ones I've seen are direct thread. With rifle cans mounting options are pretty high on the scale.

I haven't heard too many cans but I'd still want the can to be almost as quiet an can be.
To illustrate my point the Gemtech Outback is about 7db louder than the Sparrow but its only about $250. Now 7db is a lot and I'm certainly willing to pay an extra $150 not to hear it.
 
I picked up my Spectre II from jake yesterday. Have not shot it yet. But the little light Zephyr L is a blast to shoot but a pain to clean
