IMHO, that's going to go for a lot more than their estimate... the 80 rounds of ammo alone, at about $80-100 a round is $6k- 8k in ammo.
Once you go DD... you never go back!

Cant remember the name of it, but theres a gun store on hiway 71, just west of Austin Texas, that had one for sale. Impressive. The bullet alone is as big as an entire 50. caliber cartridge.
