Yes, the guy I talked to said they were getting one and that is all they have been told so far. No date or price has been set. Odds are that if they are mostly ordered already then there could be a dealer mark up applied anyway so whatever sticker price they give it could be completely meaningless.
I suspect the Sachs will definitely make a noticeable difference. If they were simply the same type of shock with similar valving but made by Sachs, then I'd agree with you but I'm almost certain these use their "Sensitive Damping Control" system, which uses two valves. This is why you get less body roll but yet it handles the bigger bumps better.
