Rob,
This sounds like a reasonable price. If you consider that the dtxpress III
has the same pads as the DtxpressII, the rack has minimal changes and it
just has an updated chipset put in the module and they can afford to sell
the DtxpressII for $800 and still make money off it, it is very possible. Of
course, the special version would and should be more because of the
different cymbals/hihat.

RiksMusic does have to be careful with Yamaha products, though. Yamaha does pull authorized dealership status if a store undercuts their enforced minimums (speculating there\u2019s going to be one on this kit), and won\u2019t honor warranties on gear bought from non-authorized dealers.
I\u2019m speculating there will be a minimum of 999.99 on the DTXpress III, Yamaha usually does this with new items.
