Not so amazing, really...this is the saw I got:

I made sure to check both with Delta and Amazon (on the phone) before I
bought this saw that it was the latest. The reason it's cheaper than the
one you have is because it's NOT an X5. The X5 comes with some extra
goodies, which are reflected in the pricing. I wasn't interested in any
of the extras, so I just go the basic saw and fence. I couldn't find a
better deal than you quoted on the X5 either, by the way. I agree that
Delta is probably price fixing.

Thanks very much for the tip on the fence bracket. Did you have to pay
extra for those brackets, or did they send it for free?

The brackets were free but it took a few times calling them to get them.
Also one of the flathead screws that holds the fence rails was so burred up
I couldn't get a nut on it. And I asked for the brackets and the screw at
the same time. They kept promising to send it but no show. After about 3
weeks and the third call I think, the lady I spoke with agreed to FedEx it
overnight to me. I got the bracket and the FULL bag of hardware the next
day. Thanks Biesmeyer.
