Thats about the size of it. No matter where you look pricewise thats pretty much the story if you want the 1680 and the sporty effects cards. Outside of that the best you can hope for is a used unit listed with a store, paper or auction. But you know the 880 is about 1000 less. Evaluate your needs on that one. They are pretty much capable of the same things, it is just a capacity issue more than anything.
