Usually, the manufacturer will stipulate that the price changes as of a certain date across the board. It's likely (but I'm not guaranteeing) that the lower prices out there you are seeing are retailers who are no longer Sony dealers who are trying to move what they still have on hand.
Sweetwater has always been extremely fair price-wise and considering the continued level of support I have received before, during, and after the sale, I buy from them unless they just can't get a hold of something I need. I'll pay more to know I am going to be taken care of... but frankly, the C800G is out of my (and mosts) budget. Thank God I don't do material that would require I have one of those.
