The most interesting thing is that they raised price by $100 for each level this year vs last (was $895 for 10k last year this time) which tells me:

1) Their economists have no idea what inflation really was in 2012
2) There was enough demand last year that they can raise price by over 10% (depending on which tier you buy).

I'd wager it's #2
