BH returns are very easy. Def do that and get yours at adorama if it'll save you 200 bucks. Return shipping is on them!

Yeah, but hopefully they'll just match the price and save us both the hassle...

Want to give a BIG thumbs-up to B&H customer service: I used the live-online-text-chat at explained the situation, and within 2 minutes they promised to refund the price difference. I thought for sure it would be a huge hassle, but it was incredibly painless and easy. B&H definitely will be getting future business from me!

They are very cool about that. That's why I love B&H. They reduced their price to $999 as well for today.

Wow, another plus for B&H. Thanks for the update. I ordered mine this afternoon from Adorama before B&H did the price match. Hopefully the link through here will kick a few back to the old forum too.
