"How is Barracuda holding up in your price survey?" Todd likely has a more scientific answer but this is what my records show for the Barracuda.

Sometimes the price drops seem to be more related to the introduction of new products than pricing pressures. These figures are from one large California distributor that has pretty good prices. I follow three distributor now but I do not have much history yet. Regards Mark M
