Pre-order of Vanska/BIS M3 is down to $26.31 @ Europdisc

Europadisc is offering the Vanska/M.O./BIS M3 at $26.31. They're also showing the complete Vansaka cycle for barely over $70. I believe Europdisc charges less for shipping than Presto Classical does.

My order for the complete cycle from Amazon was $90.  To compete with Presto, it's likely that Amazon could charge less than what it was initially offered for.  Still, $90 isn't a bad price for a complete cycle.  We shall see.

Yes, and even with BIS using an 'eco-pack', I'm sure the shipping would almost make up any difference in price. Also, if Amazon mispriced it due to a mistake in the original release bulletin to retailers and wholesalers, it's quite possible Amazon may adjust that price before they actually ship it out. They're pretty good about that. I'm very certain that the original price quoted for the Mahler 3 was a mistake. We've seen both Presto and Europadisc adjust their price already.

Got a notice yesterday from Amazon that the original delivery date of the Vanska cycle has been pushed back from June 7 to June 21.

I'm not surprised. I'm guessing the number of plants that are actually manufacturing SACD hybrid discs is probably very, very small. The art work for an 'ecopack' may be a bit trickier too. It might also be that they want to stagger the release dates between the M3 - which I'm going to guess the preorders for are probably pretty small - and the complete cycle (for which there's probably more interest).
