You should actually get a written quote by your HFO. I just got a written quote on a VF-3YT and the price shocked me (low). I guess they aren't doing Value Option Packages anymore. It's now a sliding scale: the more options you get, the more they are reduced. I don't remember the exact numbers but it was thousands less than the price I estimated based on the website and estimated shipping.
I like the Haas control but that's not to say there isn't something better out there. You've got my interest. I'm going to spend a bit more time in the Hurco booth at Westec in March.
