RE: Editions and codes

Yep, I'm in PartnerWorld, too, and currently contemplating pretty much the
same thing you are.  I whipped up a spreadsheet and from my calculations
assuming the value comes with nothing not explicitly listed (i.e. you need
to add dvd, tape, twinax, and eth in addition to matching DASD and main
memory) it comes out to $14.5k list for Express 500/30 with software
config and $18.776k for the Value 500/30.  Lease-wise it's then
$217.50/mo. for the Express and $187.76/mo for the Value.  Keep in mind
this is fairly back of the envelope, though.
