That's contrary to my experience. I found the 12.7s were almost $100 
more. Of course, this was in late May when they were a little more scarse 
than now, perhaps it's changed. I'd pay a bit of a premium for 
returnability personally. <shrug>

Anyone got an idea about current 500M _with_ caddies prices? I'm toying 
with getting one to run FreeBSD on....
