$650. I missed the chance to get in on a special order from the Caramel store last December (something about saving money to buy gifts for family and loved ones instead of buying expensive shoes), and I promised I'd buy them if I had a chance again. So, well worth it.

Nice 1000th post BTW.

Can you say more about your polishing experiment w/ the 405's? Personally, I like the results.
