Provided NRO has #8 PTBs in stock, I'm now having an internal debate about whether the ravello PTBs I recently acquired are really worth a ($710 - 0.75 * $625 =) $241.25 premium over #8 PTBs. And no, owning both is not the way I'd like to go at this time.

I thought the 25% off code at NRO didn't work on Aldens. Did I miss something?

Also, do you have to go all the way to the end of the checkout process before you can enter the code?  I didn't see the option in the first page or two before entering my billing info.
