Here's a price history/# of sellers history. It's been out for a while, and the newest version has a 8 meg cache, as opposed to the eralier 2 meg cache. Best online price is $173, but that's without shipping. I've read reviews from fair to outstanding, and I think the current price/performance/total volume is great right now.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
