That has always been a big one ... they don't have to match if they carry the 6910p and BigBox across the road carries 6910n.

This proliferation makes it hard for knowledgeable consumers - and based on Best Buy's marketing stuff earlier this year, that seems to be the point. They don't like 'em too smart or armed with too much info - they want folks tech-hungry but willing to buy off the shelf for the going price.
