I think I'd have paid the 700.

This screen failure thing is becomming a bit frightening.
My business partner just got a GRX-700 series, and the screen
died 3 days after it arrived.

My 570 is running just fine (knock on wood).  The cost of
a screen replacement would be unfortunate, but having seen
his machine I would still go for the replacement because
his 700 series lacks the jogdial and did not test out significantly
faster.

Somebody mentioned jacking a 2.4ghz chip into a 500 series
and having it work.  Thats probably what I will do when the 
price gets right.  My warranty is over anyway. 

Hope my screen holds up, cuz I'm never going back below
1600x1200 again.
