The 490s are gonna be $600, I don't know the specs but with the one piece boot at that price and the new holder, seems pretty reasonable. Once the specs come out Id compare them to the FT1 and choose from there. FT1s are like $750 right now, so the 490s might be the way to go if the price doesn't drop on the FT1. Stadium Sports has them on pre-order right now. Along with the FT2($850), and the Vapor 2x pros($900).
