If someone would walk into a store with the strong mind to save the money or extremely limited budget, they probably have less to care about the brand nor feature etc. At $150 or $180 budget, the potential buyer has very little choice anyway. But this is different from someone cost minded evaluating the "cost/performance". I do not know if the *ist has the value for money comparing with its "true" competition. I tend to think, based on the published info and rave review so far, it does. That does not mean at all that I would buy it :-). Cheers, Ken
