Well, I checked out AVI regarding the claim of "is available" new for $299. They have no goods in stock. The delivered price is/will be $315. They have a 40 person backlog and a 1-3 week back order with only 4 pcs coming in on each shipment. Tired of waiting? I've got 12 in stock and will deliver @ $349 UPS 2 Day Air.
