It pays for the bribe that the Canadian prime minister pays the Moose King to keep them from taking over.

In Canada, it was a $70 option until maybe a week ago it suddenly jump to a $360 option. Don't know if that's a price error or it will eventually filter down to the US market as well.
I'm so glad that I got my T400 before the LED price increase. It's definitely worth the extra $70.
