        Very impressive. $700+ is unfortunately well out of my preferred price range. Especially if the battery issues I just read about are accurate.

          They usually drop in price. They were just selling the 6a for $200 like a month ago, so given a bit of time you can get a good deal on the second-to-latest generation.
