Butch:

R and L had the price for the TS590 at $1629, but that did not include 
shipping.

So, really, you probably did ok with Universal, if their shipping was free, 
as I think HRO's is with big-ticket items like this.

What was their price?  I didn't think to look there.  a e s, h r o, and
universal were all the same.
