Why buy a D8X when you can buy a D8xx? Save $10? Pointless.

Where are those prices coming from and what are the prices? Craftsmanstudio.com is the cheapest place I've seen to get them, and they have the XX listed for $15 more than the X. Originally Posted by Leighton

Or did you mean that saving $10 is pointless? Because I'd disagree with that statement.Last edited by holli4pirating; 04-26-2009 at 05:53 PM.

$10, 15; price of lunch. Saving $15 is worth the savings on time. Unless your time is worth very little to you.

I wouldn't assume that is the case for everyone. Personally, I could eat for two or three days easily on $15. Originally Posted by Leighton

Here in the UK prices for D8X/D8XX are at least £44/£66 ($65/$97).
