Yeah, well, if you think the ML's are pricey in the US, then you should try the pricing here in Canada.. eesh ! and yes, we got hit with the increase on them as well ! The last time I looked at the pricing on a pair of new Aerius I's they were dealer listed at close to $3600.00 CDN.
Of course, all this pales to the pricing in the UK, which is positively stinky !
Anyhow, yup, I'll be curious to hear the new Aeon's too, they've got pretty big shoes to fill.
