I was pretty impressed with the display unit.  Seem much more solid then the WinRadio.  The gentleman I spoke to said somewhere around $500 (didn't say MSRP or Street).  I did like the fact that the unit was external.  No where near the interference that the internal WinRadio.

If you're interested in specifics such as sensitivity, email me directly and I'll give you what I can off of the spec sheet.
