Default Mathews DXT

as some of you know i've lately been trying to decide on a new bow. after shooting different brands and models i've settled on the mathews DXT. truthfully i didn't expect much before i shot it because its such a short bow, but i was honestly amazed. absolutely no hand shock or recoil, you have to look at the rest to make sure the arrow left the bow. super smooth drawing and shooting, and very tight groups. all in all another great bow from mathews. this is my only problem. msrp for this bow is $830. the dealer at the pro shop has it listed for $800, bare bow. my question is, is this overpriced? is there maybe somewhere i can find it cheaper, or at least use to maybe talk him down on the price a little bit?thanks for any help, and by the way, if anybody else has an opinion of this bow i'd like to hear it. thanks again

This probably may be my next bow in 2009 but as right now they are listed at $839 at my current pro shop.

I paid $699 for my DXT. The shop guy said that Mathews had so many local dealers they had to be low on price. I do love mine though.
