HXD860 discontinued - any bargains?

I'm still keen to get an HXD860 despite the release of the new 870. I just wondered if there were any sale bargains which anyone knew about?

The list price of the 860 is still higher than the 870 but perhaps there are some bargains lurking.

The 870 is £100 cheaper than the 860, so there seems little point in getting an 860?.

It's just that quite a few people on the AV Forum have had difficulties with the 870, particularly with maintaining the correct aspect ratio when dubbing to DVD, and also they find the new GUI on the 870 vastly inferior to the 860's.

However, if the price difference is that big I'll probably go with the 870 though!
