Chris, you're comparing apples and oranges. Things like the SLC
generally cost quite a bit more in Europe than in the US. The TT is
new, and we won't see what the real discounted price is until it's
been available for a few months. You won't know what the TT price in
the US is until it's released in the US. And so on.

The only person who knows what they want and what options are best and
what price is reasonable is the person who's buying the computer, who
has to make a decision based on their personal situation.
