Was any mention made of when these items (maybe even at the Dayton
price) would be available for web site ordering?

   I noted (may not be 100% accurate, but should be close):
   $229.95 for the W2 kit or $289.95 for factory-assembled.
   $299.95 for the K144XV, and $39.95 for the KXV3A upgrade.
   I think those are show-special introductory prices, though.
