Make certain to compare prices when using one of the shopping portals vs. going to Bose directly. When using the UAL shopping portal to Bose, the Lifestyle 50 unit that I am interested in is $500.00 less than when using the NWA shopping portal to Sharper Image for the same product. The Bose website offers a free stereo as well with the purchase of the Lifestyle 50 unit whereas the Sharper Image website does not.
