50?

So they left out vibration so it wouldn't be the usual 60?

Those savings don't take the price down to "will buy" they take the featureset down to "will never buy".

Honest question, is vibration that important of a feature in your opinion? I don't think I notice it all too much whether it's there or not, so I don't really have much of a preference and wouldn't consider this a deal breaker. I didn't realize people felt strongly about it. Is it an immersion thing?

Not who you asked, but I find myself turning it off more often than not. I just never see it as adding much to my experience. I tend to notice it more as annoyance more than anything else.
