Buy Now or at WPPI?

I just raised my rates, and booked three weddings! YEAH! So I decided to buy the 24-70mm F/2.8L My first L series!!!! It's $984 on B&H Has anyone been to the WPPI trade show in Vegas? Are there going to be great deals there? Should I wait? If I wait I won't have much time to play with it before the weddings, but if I could get if very much cheaper I would definately wait. Does anyone have any experience shopping at WPPI? or want to want to give this little lens to me for my birthday that was a couple of days ago? (I can't imagine why my husband didn't get it for me????:lol

Very often B&H has promo prices for some items sold to special interest / professional groups who have seminars, using a code. (You search B&H, using that code as the search, and you get the items listed with the special price)

Thanks for the tip Wilt, but the $984 is with a B&H coupon code. I'm really trying to find someone who has been to WPPI? Anyone? Anyone?

$984 is the cheapest ive ever seen that lens over the past 6 months

For the most part, company reps aren't there to make "retail" sales. They're there to showcase stuff and get you to be a re-seller or distributor for their product. Think "Business Deals" not individual buyers.

I'm selling this lens for $900 if you're interested. It's listed in the Marketplace.

I haven't been, but I'm going this year (AND I'M SOOOO EXCITED!!); I had that same question and a fellow photographer here says B&H always has deals at the show, and he has saved quite a bit of money buying there over the years. That's all the info I have.
