    Saw a $50 jump in the 630's as well (configured the same as mine), but they do throw in a standard fingerprint reader now.

    The price jump is to cover all the people calling in to complain/beg for discounts/compensation.

    So when you see someone asking how to get compensation, realize that they are the cause of the price increase. :D
