HC500 has the low-glow and HC600 has no glow. Details:

Anyone used these? Totally happy?
Is the only reason to buy the 600 - just to get no glow? That's probably not huge for me SO I'd rather save $ for HC500.
I'm considering these because I haven't found anyone having problems and like Coverts- the batteries last forever- AA's. Seems like a top quality cam. They are also little too- almost as tiny as Coverts. Thoughts on these cams?
Ok, MAJOR DRAWBACK.... PRICE!!! Wow! If I have to pay anywhere near that retail, I'm not getting them, I can buy 4 Bushnell 5mp trophy cams for that. BUT- where are y'all seeing these the cheapest? My buddy claims his cost was like $290-$335 or something on the HC500 (ok, maybe I shouldn't say that BUT oh well) and I could get for somewhere around $300 to $350. Does that sound like a good deal? It's a bit of a pain to get from him (another state) so if there's any sources here, I'd sure be curious. I'm just not spending 450-550 for a cam!
Lastly, since NEW stuff is coming out soon for 2011 - would you wait to see if price dropped? I'm almost for sure gonna hold out for month or 2 on new stuff. AND- do you have any knowledge that something cooler, better or revolutionary is coming out for 2011? I'll wait either way BUT not sure if y'all had opinion on future pricing and new products in a few months.
Let me know the scoop on these rascals. Thanks!
