Sorry, but $800 is waaaay to expensive for this machine. Even if it had DDM, I don't think a price above $550 would be reasonable, by Dyson standards anyway: however, without the DDM, $400 should be the price it is sold for. Think about it, the DC26 is a DC31 with wheels and a hose, sans the DDM. It should be priced comparably with the DC24. If this machine does cross the pond with an $800 price tag, then why not jack up the MSRP of the DC24 to $700 (of course, I don't see this happening). An $800 MSRP for the DC26 is too freaking much.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Dyson needs to pull an Apple, and open up concept stores for their products. I believe consumers buying expensive higher-end goods demand an equally high-end buying experience as well, with product experts abound, product demonstrations, and an appealing sales floor environment that draws in the curious (that's why I go to the Apple store to buy my Mac stuff rather than Best-Buy or the late CompUSA).

mole, you ain't gonna believe this. At $800 you should get a trip to Disney Land to meet the other Goofy. Better to buy an ounce of gold at that price. And dyson ain't gold. Not even nickel.

Around 800 bucks the last time price came up.
Venxon NO WAY.....for that? ....talk about the dyson shaft and no kiss.
But no doubt the dyson groupies/collectors will line up for another session with james.

These have just been released in Spain priced 399€. We had been mulling over which to buy and saw this yesterday. SOLD! Why would you want anything else bigger?
Here are the specifications in the same format as the other products on the Dyson site (took me a few Google translations of the Japan site and a UK phonecall to source):
Patented cyclone technology : Root Cyclone™ technology core separator Delivery : - Suction power : 165 AW Movement type : Fixed wheel Filtration : Lifetime HEPA Cleaner head : Mini Flat Out™ head Stair cleaning : Sits on stairs Bin capacity : 0.65 litres Clear bin™ Tools / accessories : * Crevice tool * Stair tool * Brush tool Dimensions : 266x320x205mm(HxDxW) Max. reach : 8.6 metres Cord length : 5 metres Weight : 3.22 kg (5.62 kg)
I think that this is all - any corrections welcome. Note that the Japanese site does not contain the Power rating.
Mike
