I had good luck buying my 8520 directly from CBM in Westchester (hey that's a
novel idea, go right to the source ;-).  Really, I got mine for around $23.XX
and that included shipping.  I let them know I needed it quick because I was
about to use it for a demo.  I got mine in under 14 days.

Oh yes, dump your dealer if they refuse to help.  They DO understand economic
based reactions.
