That isn't a bad price, but condition is everything.

The Summarit has a unique signature; maybe that is a euphemism for 
"worse performer", and the variation on condition for Summarits is very 
wide, from nice and free of haze, to downright foggy.

At $1200, the kit should be very very clean, close to mint.  Check ebay 
for recent pricing.  I'd prefer to see it at $1100, $700 for the DS, and 
$400 for the Summarit, and both in EX++ to Mint-minus condition.

regards
Vick
