I don't think we know whether there will actually be any meaningful price drops or not. However, if you don't need to buy immediately, and the 4200+ is already stretching your budget, you may want to wait and see how the 3800+ X2 will be priced (and how it'll perform). Supposedly that's supposed to be launched on August 1 if I remember correctly - that is, unless they do a paper launch. 😛
