Would definitely like to see pics, it sounds unusual!
Prices are difficult to compare because the Quadro2000 was sold with a 4x32 scope with range-assisting reticle whereas the Cheetah came with a smaller scope with a simple crosshair. I only saw the box contents of a Quadro2000 briefly (a friend had one, which is what prompted me to upgrade my Cheetah prod to compound). If I remember correctly the Quadro2000 came with slightly longer arrows also.
Back in the day I converted my recurve Cheetah to compound by handing in the recurve prod and paying a few hundred extra Rands for the compound version. It needs a cable guide rod and cable guide also, which was part of the upgrade 'pack.' That was through a company called Taylor and Henderson in Johannesburg in the late 80s. I haven't been able to trace them or their stock.
I know that SSA were selling compound prods a few years ago (no guide rod and no guide) for around the same price you have quoted for a complete crossbow (if you convert from Euro to $).
I cannot recall what the difference in pricing was between the GRP and wood stock models of the same type.
