I'm not sure, but although I ordered one of the $199.95 PEs from WorldWide Dist. on Amazon, I'm not counting on actually receiving one until it arrives. The "in stock" numbers displayed for some Amazon shops are often totally inaccurate (as are the "available/in stock" displays for a lot of other online retailers). They may have taken 60 orders and collected 60 x $199.95 but only have 5 PEs actually on hand for all I know. So they automatically generate 60 UPS tracking numbers, which then sit there for several days with no shipping action, and finally they say, "oops, out of stock, order cancelled" and issue refunds.
Or it could be the other way around -- they bought 100 PEs cheap from a distributor and display "8 in stock" because that generates more "I'd better get one right now" ordering. Either way, I'm not letting my hopes get too elevated.
