I agree with that. I think the real positive that comes out of this, if it does come in at good pricing, is that it makes all the major manufacturers take note and sharpen their pencils...it basically just pushes the market forward to meet the new level of consumer expectations. If you can get "all that" for that pricing, then consumers will grow to expect a commensurate amount of improvement from the big names to justify their pricing differential. I think in the end, it will only be a very good thing.
