This seems to be a good price for this dock.
The newer model has upgraded the thunderbolt format to version 2 but I believe lost a couple of connections in the process. Most notable is the firewire port in included in this original model. At least no extra firewire adapter is needed. I came across this because I was looking for a firewire repeater or hub for my Macbook Air. This seems to be adequate for my requirements. Some specs:
Connect 8 separate devices to your laptop through a single Thunderbolt cable (included). Compatible with Thunderbolt 2 Technology
1 Thunderbolt port to connect to a laptop or Thunderbolt devices. Daisy-chain up to 5 devices through one port
1 Gigabit Ethernet port
1 FireWire 800 port
1 3.5mm Headphone Output jack and 1 3.5mm Audio Input Jack
20 times faster than USB 2.0 and 12 times faster than FireWire 800
3 USB 3.0 ports (data transfer at 2.Gbps max)
Cable-management channel
There seems to be mixed reviews for this but most mainly seem to relate to issues with multiple monitors. I just need the connections for audio so am hopeful all will be well. I got free shipping using my Amex.
Cheapest on AU Ebay is AUS$248 (without a thunderbolt cable).
I'm after this dock as well, but the price is normal after shipping cost.
