We just purchased a bunch of this.

3590E1A's were around 15-16k each
A60 was 18-19k I think. Purchasing did not give me the final bottom line
purchase order to look at the prices. I just know I got it all for less than
half of what was in the budget and they were impressed I saved so much.

If you want to email me privately I can send you the info on the company we
got it all from. No problems at all since it's all banded equipment.
