Avmap 2000c onsale???

I have been looking for a decent, nice size color screen GPS for under
$1,000. Just recently the Lowrance Avmap 2000c has gone on sale for as
little as $699! I called one of the dealers (Gulf Coast Avionics) just to
check if it is a sale or a "close out" and was assured it is just a
temporary sale.

Is this too good to be true, could it be that Lowrance is planning a release
soon of a 2000x with weather?

I like the unit but would like to avoid buying a unit that could be obsolete
in months.

Any thoughts?
