A little pricing history:
Model 950 started at $899, went to $799 about a year later, ended up at $699 for the final few months of production.
Model 970 started at $799, after October's sale it has settled in at $699.
Model 990 started at $1099, dropped to $999 earlier this year (forget when exactly), and after October's sate it has settled in at $899 now.
It's hard to say what'll happen with the next gen products. I'd hope that they'd remain fairly true to their roots - which would suggest something at or under $900 and perhaps something "upscale" from there between $1100 and $1300.
