Fair enough. Another way of looking at it. I go by street price because that is what folks usually pay. Again, the recent Legacy Berks and Pacifics are better buys price-wise. Lionel needs to pay some heed to pricing. There are an awful lot of those $1600 Y3's still sitting around. Please don't get me wrong. The new Alcos look sharp, but I would tend to believe that more than a few of us are having some trouble getting used to $800 Flyer PA pairs with no significant enhancements.
Have fun.
