Well, that particular ZB WAS applying the 20% WITH the sale price. Note I said
WITH, not ON the sale price - they added 20% to the 50% off on the 8480, giving 70%
off, rather than taking 50% off, then 20% off that - so you save a lot more.

Call them - NOW. Otherwise, I doubt they'll have any soon, even though they are
limiting it to ONE set per person at that price.
I love being able to order over the phone - my local ZB doesn't even have the 8480
on sale anymore, so it would be well over $100 with the 20% off.
