The point is we really know NOTHING for sure about the reality of the 978 being able to compete in the Home and Audio processor market at this point and time. A lot of processors have hit the market since the announcement that Outlaw was givimg birth to the 978.
We really do not know the exact price with or without the loyality discount.
Personally dishing out an additional $900 for the Integra is NOT what I want to do but if it means getting more bang for my buck...well I waited this long...why not wait and save a little more.
Besides the H&A store that I am dealing with has no taxes and also has a 12 month no interest payment plan.
