 I'm surprised you didn't hear anything there. Did you try comp.os.vms?
 Typically the real techie types watch those newsgroups.

  You heard this already. Its about 1 mip (the aprox cycle time of a VAX-780)

 I'm not real familar with these products anymore (I assume by mv you are
 refering to microvax.) But you can go look a lot of this up directly 
 using Digital's pages.

 1) follow the links to http://www.digital.com

 2) at the bottom of the box you'll notice what looks like pull down
    menu choices or buttons. Click on "search"

 3) This puts you in Digital's rather extensive catalog search. Type
    in what you're looking for (i.e. I tried 4200 to see what hit) and
    it will return with a number of references in various papers, press
    releases even their product catalog on that phrase.

    I'm not sure you'll be able to find price information - but you should
    be able to scrounge any technical details you're looking for
