Why must it be 25% less? It must be 900 pounds so you can afford it,
or so Pentax can sell it?

Thanks for the info.
As near as I can tell, the 400T has a GN of 40 at an effective
coverage of 28mm. My manual for the 360FGZ says that it has a GN of
36 when zoomed to 85mm coverage, GN 30 at 50mm and GN 22 at 28mm.
Based on that, it seems that the 400T actually has about twice the
