The Lenovo (Lenovo 7" Android Gingerbread 8GB $200 16GB $250) will be $200 for more hardware (GPS, Camera), and this includes a mark-up for retailer profit that Amazon does not incur.

On the other hand, an included Prime membership is a $79 "value" if you need it.
Totally agree. 200 is where I'd jump with no hesitation.
