Here are the results of the price survey; response was good from the
east coast, but nearly nonexistent west of the Mississippi; one of the
reasons for the scattered character of the results.  Thanks to everyone
who took the time to participate; perhaps this might serve as some sort
of guide for the next group purchase.
