EMAC drives are very nice... Very quiet, reliable from what I hear.
$525 is about the going price for the 20 meg.  Only disadvantage
as far as I'm concerned is it doesn't sit under the mac.
They do, I believe, make one which does sit under the mac.

As for the list price, all list prices are outrageous.  You never
buy anything for the list price unless you like spending extra money...
