My thoughts:
An all-around good suit, it is powerful, yet inexpensive. It has a variety of weapons and is quite tough. Unlike on any other GM, the armor material is the same as that of a Gundam. These MS are more suited for battle than other roles such as construction, recon, lawn ornaments, etc...

Cost:
25,000,000

The Riah RH-35E is beautiful when it comes to construction, and is as graceful as a drunken llama when used in battle. Good for defense and easy to repair, but best of all... IT'S CHEAP!!!
