    That's $100 retail.... I'm buying.

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    Been on the fence. My regular thermopen works just fine though.

    I have the classic and it works great.  I'm tempted to buy the new model but find it hard to justify the cost.  Mechanically, they do the same darn thing.  Measure the temp in a couple of seconds.

    Yup...but the spinning, back-lit display is pretty cool

    And that's why the temptation remains. @dougcrann  you are evil. :)

    Well, I am like the Austin Powers character, I can't be asked three times.  Held out until the final day of the sale and that last email they sent did me in.  Blue MK4 enroute.

    i am not sure about the previous generations of thermapens, but the MK4 i have automatically turns the display off if not in use (if the probe is out) and senses motion, so when you grab it again, it turns the display back on.  Backlight automatically turns on in dim/dark conditions.  It is awesome.

    They have these sales so often anymore that it would probably be smarter for them to just keep the normal retail price lower - $75-$80 in order to perhaps keep more people from buying a Lavatools thermo.
