Not sure where you got $700 difference between these speakers and factory outlet ones (if you're referring to the same ones you were talking about in another thread for $950). A pair from the factory outlet can be had for $1314 CDN (+ tax), which is more like $400 difference. If you could actually get $700 off, I'd say go for it since that's about 50% off. If its $400 difference, then that depends how important color is to you.
