I didn't "panic" because I ordered mine about a month before "the notice". Was in more of a hurry because there had been 1 or 2 price increases in Canada early this year, and I wanted to get one at the old stock price. At that time, and this is weird, the 151 (and 141) was selling for somewhat less than the 6020 locally.
There are supposedly containers of Elites that should be landing around now. Demand is still good though, and probably some backorders. I would expect some good pricing "soon", but I doubt the best pricing right away until pent-up demand is satisfied. When the better new Panny plasma models are in stores, they may become more flexible with Elite pricing...more into the early fall I'd guess. By the end of the year probably even better, because the Elite dealers will obviously be moving to a new line for next year.
