Come on everybody - let's play nice :-)
The eMotion 75 back (33 Mpix), with standard 3 year warranty, has a list price $990 lower than the list price of the P45+ (39 Mpix) with optional 3 year warranty. So for the same warranty, the Sinar is slightly less expensive. But then again, the Phase gives you an extra 6 Mpix, so lets call it even. You can get either wonderful back, with 3 year warranty, for virtually the same price. Personally, I got my P45+, with the extended warranty, for way, way less than the list price. And I'm sure Sinar backs can be bought well below list price as well. It's six of one, and half a dozen of the other.

Maybe this will clear things up a little. Here is a little description of the Value Added Configuration vs Classic Configuration. You can see that the Value Added Configuration is just more than extra warranty.
When you purchase your Phase One back with the Value Added Configuration you not only get the 3 year warranty with loaner, and the platform swap for three years, you get a larger carrying case, a dual battery charger with two batteries and Capture One Pro software and all the regular accessories.. This is $3000(usd) over the Classic Configuration , which come in a smaller Pelecin style case, One Year return to factory warranty with no loaner provision*,single battery, single charger, Capture One DB and some other accessories.
So if you were to purchase a unit in the Classic Configuration and want to change your platform later $2500(usd) and add Capture One Pro $495(usd) you are right up at the price of the Value Add configuration.
Most of the people that have bought Classic Configuration from me have been people that can afford to have downtime or they already own multiple backs so they have back up in case of an emergency.
Hope this helps.
* loaner provisions differ per market, check with your local reseller.
If you really want a full packing list for Classic vs Value Add - PM or email me. I did not feel it would be necessary to list every cable and such.
Now back to eating leftover turkey!
