RVG 5000 Update

Had a nice debate with a Kodak account rep in New Jersey re: the RVG 5000 pricing on DentalTown. Here was his reply for the pricing:

"The first sensor you acquire is bundled together with software and positioners. Size #1 bundle retails at $9,500.00 and size #2 bundle retails at $10,200.00. Each additional size #1 sensor retails at $5,900.00 and each additional size #2 sensor retails at $6,600.00."

I personally think the price is too high. Kodak is obviously marketing this as a lower-cost option for Kodak customers, so the offices considering it are going to be more price-conscious. While the price for the second sensor is competitive, $10,200 is very high for the first one. Most of the companies we work with, like e2v, Suni, Eva, etc. are in the $6000-$6500 range, and software can range from $895 and up depending on number of users.
