At least where I am concerned ... I'd rather get the new for $10 more with a longer warrantee.

I asked if he thought the price might come down once the 300 & 600 hit the shelves. He said the $279 was already a price drop for the 505 from the $299.

YMMV
I ordered a new red 505 from B&H in New York for a total of 256.10 ($249.95 + $6.15 shipping) I had considered calling the outlet but never got around to it. I also saved about $22 in sales tax. And a long drive as well.
