Ah, that price is definitely going in the wrong direction for me - I'm actually really interested in one of these, but I told myself I would wait until the price dropped $100 or so before I would do it. $529 is too much for me to justify, especially since I already have a Breville Smart Grill that does a great job already when I want to cook a steak indoors (although it doesn't work anything like the Cinder and is "Smart" only in name).
