I think that Flex's strategy is rather clear: offer two transceivers, one near the current price of the 5K (6500), and a "premium" unit priced similar to the "Big Three's" "consulate" transceivers. Many believe this is a market they need to be in, having abdicated this segment to their competitors for years.
This is why they will (and should) price the 6700 in the same range as their competitors, and offer those with neither the desire or the wherewithal to spend $8,000 the 6500. Continuously bleating about the European economy is not going to convince Flex to under-price the 6700, as indeed it shouldn't.
