Usually the vendors of these products don't solicit the pricing 
on-line.  They don't for various reasons, but the end result is that the 
vendor wants you to call them for pricing.  (A bit like needing to sit 
down at the car dealer's desk before he'll talk price.)

When consulting most clients, I've not often been involved in the actual 
purchasing of the hardware, so I can't say for certain, but the last 
time I did get any pricing information without a commitment to buy the 
Eicon Diva Server looked to be about US$9000 and the Patton 2977 was 
about US$5000.  (So, yeah, your monthly telco savings in digital for 
7-10 channels better be worth it.)  Now, someone who has more accurate 
pricing is certainly welcome to correct me, and then we'll all be better 
off.  :-)

This said, I've been able to find used Patton 2977s for sale on eBay... 
for prices much, much less than the prices above.  (The sale prices on 
2977s on eBay have gone up considerably since I first started mentioning 
this here.  Hrmm.)
