How are they cheapper. Last time I checked they were about 1000 more.

Im not quite sure what they "list" for. But dealers pay less for the S54 than for the S52s. Ive already checked this, and was a little surprised.

Is that cost, Blunt? I may be mistaken a S50 compared to an S52 (With the S52 being cheaper). I could have sworn it was the S54 that was cheaper, though.
