The relatively new Eton Elite Executive, formerly Eton Executive Satellit, has dropped $50 USD on its Amazon page to $129.99:
This rather major price drop lowers the cost to just $20 more than Amazon’s price for the older, silver-cased Eton Executive Satellit. According to Jay Allen’s review the new radio has identical performance to the older model; only the color is updated.

I think it would be a mistake for Eton not to have HD reception on the US model of the upcoming Satellit. HD is gaining in popularity and there is a pretty good variety of programming, much better than the pre-HD days. I have one pre-ordered, but if it won’t have HD, I’ll probably just keep my E1.
