Price definitely is an issue. I start to like iRex 800. The display quality really is convincing. And it's fast.
But being 25% to 40% (depending on VAT and similar issues) more expensive than Sony 900 is hard to explain. Well, probably it's easy to explain: Sony has 734 diverse revenue streams and certainly makes significant profits apart from their hardware with licenses and content. But still, from a customer point of view...
