I agree. Your post made me curious to look over some of the recent pricing of new lenses. I started a post on it here:

If the recent trend for a 10% drop holds true, then we should see the price drop to $2,250. Then again, if the price behaves more like the 24mm f/1.4 II or the 70-200 f/4 L IS, then it wont get below $2,420.
