Norris, Just curious, did you get that $574 shipped from an authorized dealer? I saw it in that range and less from many unauthorized dealers but thought I better spend a little extra and go authorized in case I ever need warranty work (gotta love that 5 year ES warranty that the 985 doesn't...
I bought my 777ES from ABT (authorized dealer) for $630 shipped. They have them for $649 shipped and use the code DISCOVER3OFF for another 3% off. You can get the non ES version (CX985V) for about $300ish. HTH, Scott
