It always seems that the best deals are just over the border! To bad it didn't apply in Canada!

Seen a post earlier from -subman- mentioning that he was selling his radions, due to vegas, then changing to selling his vegas and keeping his radions due to them dropping the MSRP on the Radions.

I'm thinking it was quite a price drop as well just judging from his statment in prices. They might have dropped them to be equal or close to the vegas??

I had just read yesterday the MSRP for the gen1 Radion is now going to be $599 and the gen2 Radion will be $649 in the US. Not sure how much different the prices will north of the border.

This really does not impress me at all.. Basically devalues the lights we paid in excess of 749.00 by $200.

My concern is if I do upgrade to the gen2 I will have to pay an additional $130 for each light... Great deal if you are planning to buy now... For an additional $50 you get the gen 2 Radion and would still be at least $150 + cheaper than when I bought mine a yr ago. If I do upgrade to gen2 it would cost be overall $300 dollars more for each light when comparing to buying a gen2 now. Hope they will consider giving existing owners a break on the upgrade...

Stores in the US have already lowered their prices to the new MSRP, looks like Canadian stores are still trying to hang onto the old prices so far. Should be dropping soon I would think.

For anyone planning to buy a gen 1 Radion in Canada you may as well hold onto your money and wait for the Gen2. I have just received an email from E otech and the rebate is only for US owners and no rebate for Canadian Radion owners...
