Just an FYI, yesterday was apparently some kind of "pre-sale". The SIG is back to normal price of $499 today. I believe it is supposed to be back at $299 on Dec 8th - 15th.
I seem to have lost my Leica, which I bought from Doug on a great deal several years ago. I may pick up this SIG to replace it. The deal Doug has on the Leica CRF 2700-B right now is a great one.
