I sometimes forget that many people actually pay retail (yuk!) when 
discussing price.  At suggested list of something like $160, yes, it's 
too much.  At Kevins $103 or Farrels slightly less, no it's not too much.

I was wondering if you could comment on the tone and loudness of the 
CX-12 in comparison to your 260 in its prime.  My guesstimate is that 
it's about 10 dB louder than any chro I've ever experienced.
