KO Mars LE radio

[FilthyPierre]

Anybody have one ? How much do they cost in the USA ? I saw one in my LHS on Saturday, they want $895 (AUD) for it. Admittedly it felt nice, and looks a lot better than the standard Mars (which is $499 AUD). From what I can see the only differences are the paint job, the wheel extension, 22-model memory and the blue LED (which was giving the dude behind the counter a massive hard-on).
Any comments (on the radio that is) ? For $895 it'd wanna be pretty effin' good.

jeez thats a lot of money. man o man that's alot u could get like 3 or 4 cars for that much

Don't forget the Aussie dollar ain't worth a handful o' bottle caps at the moment. Current exchange rate puts $895 AUD to $457 USD. Which I'm assuming is still rather expensive for the Mars, even a limited edition version.
So, anybody got one/used one/seen one/got a price on one ?
Thanks

I've heard the Limited Edition may be going for about $350 or so in the U.S., but I'm not sure. However, I do think the Mars in general is about the best there is. I know I love mine..... http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif
