The 200-500 came out so so cheap then progressively ramped up in price as it gained popularity, then feel into - here is the cash back promo deal $250 off, then back to retail.
A lot of retailing in general particularly supermarkets seem to raise prices often blaming inflation then have regular discount sale prices, not saying that s the case here but its a global trend selling the perception its on sale or discount every other week.
My feeling with some of the camera gear is often the prices have gone up only to build discount margin in to pay back later.
You will see the 180-600 on sale or some cash back offer periodically.
I bought a puffer jacket RRP $199, i watched the bi monthly sales at down to $99, then at the end of winter season while stocks lasted i grabbed two at $59 each on end of line clearance, i do the same with footwear $252 down to $69........
