Since we're doing the same (and just got our new quote today) I'll tell you
what we were told.  IBM announced 10% discount, but that is from list price.
They are passing along some extra savings to BPs, and our upgrade quote was
significantly cheaper.  Not 10% less, though (closer to 8%).  I didn't see a
detailed breakdown on pricing for either quote, just the totals.

He also said IBM supposedly announced an 810 with 750 CPW, but I haven't
seen it.

Good luck!
