Hmm, well 2 years ago I bought the same box blade, which I love btw. However, my primary JD dealer wanted $850 and a competing dealer had it for $750, so I of course bought it there. So, shop around for sure. I will tell you though that I have abused my box blade over the 2 years and other than scuff marks in the paint, it hasn't bent, warped, chipped or other. So, while others might be cheaper, make sure you are truly comparing apples to apples before you buy.
