If I remember correctly the original price of the 997 was going to be $1500 and in the launch (LOL) announcement of the 978 PeterT said the pricing would be about the same. It will have to be one helluva device at that price if it makes it to market at all. You would think all this negativity would stir someone at Outlaw to get off the couch and give us an update NOW!!! Maybe they can have another super secret door sale because the last two have been duds IMO.
