The Eagle is now in the TS590 price area and they are comparable.  Moving 
inventory is not that costly. From experience you reduce raw material and 
increase finished goods in anticipation of the move.  Except for bulky parts 
like PCBs and chassis, 100K of parts now days almost fits in your pocket

There is more to this then meets the eye
