    Well to be fair, prices are pretty different depending on where you're from and can change pretty quickly over time...

    good info., especially as a baseline with some of the newer devices / controllers coming to market.
    also agree with sgogeta4...price data would become dated pretty quickly as the market fluctuates.

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    I didn't include pricing info for the reasons mentioned by others in this thread.
