[at-l] New Balance - Factory store coupon (MA and ME)

Looks like I was wrong about what would be replacing the 804 series shoe.
I seem to have forgotten the number of the series replacing the 804, if it
has even been announced yet. The 805 is NOT a trail shoe, rather it is
more a mall walking shoe.  The 904 is, however, a trail runner, albeit a
more expensive one than the 804.  I personally wouldn't buy a pair of
851s for the trail but YMMV.

I am curious to know where you heard that the 804 was being discontinued
because I can find no information supporting this. Since I was planning
to get some 804s after my heavy boots self-destructed during my thru hike
this year, I would like to know if I will need to make other plans.

Can anyone explain what the New Balance Numbering System signifies?
My 804s replaced the 803 (I assume),

Now I hear that 804s will be phased out. Horrors! I finally find a shoe that
minimizes my foot pain, and it is discontinued?!

So - what are alternatives? What are, say, 904s and 851s? If I hike in 804s,
do I need to stock up now like a greedy little monster, or is this par for
the NB course - another will be right along, just as good or better?
