In the mean time I need to get better quality out of my graphics shows and the 20Kpps just isn't cutting it. Who knows how long the PTs will last but if they can at least get me through till 506s become common place I'll be happy.
I'm sure you'll be happy with this new version of the PT-40s, Salty. I have a couple sets of the older version of the PT-40s and a few sets of the newer ones with more on the way. The older ones didn't last that long when abused a bit (bearing failure it appears), but the new version may fair better. At $300 including shipping, we could almost consider them a disposable commodity.
That said, I am still looking forward to getting at least a couple pairs of 506's when they are available. Cool running, tough, wide scanning with big mirrors will be an awesome upgrade from dt30s for my beam boxes.
