Ray, I know you're new to this PF60 party, but the prices have been all over the place for the last 6 months. I got mine in November at a really low price and, within a week or two, all the prices jumped a couple of hundred bucks, at the very least. Then, they went back up to near MSRP, and now the ridiculous prices are back again.
Perhaps these low priced deals are from unauthorized dealers. Perhaps Belkin is bringing out a new model. I dunno. But at 26% of MSRP, I was willing to take the gamble, and am very happy I did.
Again, I make no claim that this thing will improve your audio or video. I don't even claim it will adequately protect your equipment from surges, etc., though I certainly hope it does add some protection. I bought mine because I like its looks, and LOVE its versatility and convenience.
