Just thought I'd add my two bits about the wb2.04 at the moment.
The wholesale dealer cost for the package is $67 - something
that Maxwells obviously knew.
If you were quick enough, Maxwells were offering it for $100 - but
they obviously knew they were on a winner when the first order
ran out. They've bumped the price up to $147 I think?
PCM (never had any problems with them - *excellent* for prices) said
that they'd offer it for $99 when they got them in stock. They're
definitely worth checking out.
While I'm here 8520's were apparently $11 once. After so many people started
blwoing them up (plugging in accessories with the power on) - commodore
bumped up the price to $38. That's dirty - cashing in on a design fault
they obviously know about... tsk tsk commodore...
