It seems to me that the LS-10 is being kept in the line-up with the new LS-11 
as the more expensive "big brother". So I wouldn't expect much in the way of a 
price reduction.

Unless they've improved the circuitry I am not sure it offers any compelling 
reason to choose it over the cheaper model, though I suppose if you've got the 
bucks, why not?

Here are the new features:
* 8 GB of internal memory vs. 2 GB
* 23 hours of battery life vs. 12 hours
* SDHC support up to 32 GB vs. 8 GB
* automatic recording triggered by input level
* index marks can be made (during recording or playback)
* files can be cut and divided
* can now move files between internal and external memory
* exactly same size and weight
* silver instead of black

I like all of these except the last.
