I just checked the ecost.com website and they are now quoting a price of
$729 before rebate. It appears that the price of approx. $640 before rebate
may, in fact, have been an error. Or maybe not. Who knows? Anyway, I'm glad
I ordered mine last week! It should arrive ths week sometime. Those of you
who are on the waiting list: Did they give you the lower price?
