Re: 5500 Price Drops?

[Michael Greer <mgreer316@yahoo.com>]

I can apreciate your points. But with the availability of the 7600 any day now,
why would anybody buy a 5500 for $500 more? The 5500 is inferior to the 7600 in
every way. Un;ess a potential customer doesn't know about the 7600, whatever is
in stock is going to stay in stock unless the 5500's price changes. $1995 MSRP
with a street price of around $1600-$1700 would be a good price point.
