The price of ~$20k is for a 9000 model 730.  This has the same processor
as the 750, but with less expandibilty and greyscale graphics in the
base configuration.  The 720 and 730 are desktop while the 750 is deskside.
I would be interested in what options quoted in your 750 configuration are 
and what you finally decide on purchasing.

I don't have pricing information for the various options, but am always 
glad to let you know where your local sales office is :-)
