I've noticed the same thing.  I got an ad for TP700/720 products at
prices that were incredibly cheap.  However, IBM seems to have wisened
up at least a bit.  The 755 uses the same things as the 750 and later
models will presumably try to capture on that standardization so
they can keep their inflated prices longer.

It seems IBM never learns.
