That's a good price. Probably like %30 off or close to it.

Try Tony's Train Exchange, that's where I got mine. Can't remember the price, but you cant go too far wrong with Tony. He will also give you good support.

That is in the neighborhood of the best prices I found about 6 months ago. If it is an LHS you will have good support as well (I'd hope.)

It's a fair price but remember that to use it, as a radio throttle, you also need the UR90 (or UR91, don't remember which) Radio receiver.

That is an excellent price for the Radio equiped Throttle. Loys has it for $184 (list being $204.99), and Tony's has it for $179. If you trust your LHS for service after the sale, grab it!
