A 700 for "considerably" less than a 800? You from our planet?

Yes. I just bought one for $350. A new 800 goes for $500.

A factory (Drake) reconditioned '800' is the best way to get a reliable
one. They sell for $399 at Universal and other sources.

I realize that. I also paid less than that for my 700. Someone
thought I was crazy stating that used 700s go for less than new 800s.
I provided my proof, and you just added more. Thanks.

That's also what I meant when I said I would get an 800 if I could get a
good deal on one. The $350 reconditioned ones seem to have disappeared
from eBay.
