But I'm a little concerned about this "Misprint". I only say this because when I spoke to them a couple of weeks ago when the printed price was $86 they said that was a misprint and that the price was $87. Now don't get me wrong, I think their prices are great either way, I just think they may be over-predicting price drops, and then claiming misprints, this is not really a nice thing to do more than once.
