Wow... that's crappy how a once-great company has taken the low road. IIRC red tops at Sam's/Costco are still around the $100 mark; can't say for sure. My blue top (old style) came to me with 2.35 volts and I have nursed it back to health; going to do the same with an old red-top soon. Got both for free, can't complain if they don't last too long, right?
Seems like Odyssey is the new Optima, eh?
