Outlaw has said in the past that the Model 1070 will sell for under $1000, hence the statement that it will be at least $100 less than the 990. It is possible that "under $1000" means anywhere from $999 to $949 to who-knows-what. The Model 1050 originally sold for $600 and dropped to $500 after a little over a year on the market, similar to the Model 950's pricing changes (started at $900, fell to $800 a little over a year later, and most recently changed to $700).
