Sorry, should have been more clear:

A while ago Eckhart mentioned that the BT2000-CF might make a good
contender. Based on that, I went out to my local CompUSA, where they
were serendipitously on special. I got it then. I'm not surprised it's
no longer in effect, but I wanted to point out that they *do* get
rebated on occasion.

Sorry for the confusion.
