I answered your first point here in another thread:

About price cut, I agree that doing it next fall shouldn't hurt, I wrote that I think it could hurt doing it too early, in early 2010 as someone else suggested. And all those gimmicks about Elite = Pro, etc, most people don't know about them, they just think that Elite price was cut and Pro was phased out. So to their eyes, cutting price in early 2010 just looks like "cutting again price after a few months" and we know how much appearance matters for marketing.
