I grabbed one and I don't think it was a bad deal. Sure you could pickup a nice 19" for a few hundred less but then you're stuck with 1280x1024 and IMO 1600x1200 is worth the extra $$$. I paid $600 for one about 6 months ago and wound up sending it back simply because it wasn't $600 better than the Compaq P1220 (19.9" viewable Mitsubishi Diamondtron tube) I had at the time. Well, after a search for a cockroach ended up me breaking my Compaq (long story) I went back to the 2001FP. With tax mine came to something like $484 to the door.
It was between the 2001FP and that sweet 22" NEC CRT. Just couldn't justify spending nearly $600 on a CRT when my old Compaq cost me only $250 to the door (sweet deal!).
