The part that keeps being left out is the markup/margin being made by blowout, etc. Just because the retail price is $2700, that isn't what PR charged. I don't have the the Direct pricing in front of me, but I am guessing it was somewhere in the $1900-$2000 range. That is a MASSIVE difference and of course changes the % recouped drastically.

Let's use $1900

Your Return is say $1200 on the box - 63%

Let's use $2700

Your Return is say $1200 on the box - 44%

I realize this is the case with most if not all products, but I wanted to point out that all of the percentage points are going into PR's wallet, a very nice percentage goes to the middle man
I would hope for PR's sake that it was more than $1900. At that rate, the dealer makes $800 per box whereas PR makes ~$700 on the box. I would think it would be closer to $2300 direct cost.
