Sorry, I wasn't aware that the V20Z had reached EOL.  We just bought
a couple off of eBay for pretty cheap.  That should have been a tipoff
for me.

I agree that an educational discount would not drop a price from $19K
down to $5.5K.

I am CCing our system administrator, Mike Schmidt, just in case he
has an updated recommendation.

Cheers,

Tom
