(I hope not, since I can't afford one, but lust after it just the same). Dante's original post led me to believe that his budget is probably somewhere between $500-$700, so I suspect the only Superwide in the budget is a mis-priced garage sale item or the like. And the Veriwide is, well, wide. This is neither good nor bad per se, but aspect ratio is a big factor.
