The difference between the Mono 105 and 200 is $550 and between the 200 and 400 is $1,154. The difference between the Color 105 and 200 is $1,424 and 4M of memory ($875 for 4m of memory?????!!!!). The difference between the Color 200 and 400 is only $610 (which means the Mono slab person is paying $544 for nothing!) The weirdness only gets worse when you look at the Cube prices. I really don't understand how these prices were determined at all. It makes very little sense. Jon
