My main point is that “starting” at that price is a mismatch with “up to” that disk capacity.

I published several days later, so there was no error there; I'm very careful about honoring such things. With respect to the top of the line, I said "starting" because I believe that Kickfire is likely to add more capacity within the 3000 serious. It's the only price now, and it is their top of the line, so perhaps I should have been more explicit. Thanks for the eagle eye.
