-Big boost to Canon's Production biz
-Decent boost to Canon's Direct sales
-Big FU to Konica and its OEM/Production units (Oce arguably KM's #1 reseller)
-Big Benefit of having just $119M in debt (Canon=0.4% debt load)
-the 730 Euro price is barely above Oce's 704E debt
- Both Ricoh and KM were deemed too financially unstable to bid on Oce
-Hp and Kyocera may counter offer, but unlikely
-Wow
