Looks good Mike.
I know the sales should start showing up just before the season.

balene,
Yes... The original 86 qt is no longer available.
The only difference between the old 86 qt and the new 94 qt is basically the height.
The lid is 2 inches taller which gives it the extra capacity.

I just bought one yesterday. The 94 qt model West is stocking here in the Twin Cities is the Igloo "Marine Elite".
In September 2008 Igloo recalled roughly 7200 of the "Marine Elite" models because the Stainless Steel latches had sharp edges and had caused lacerations.
They have redesigned the latches and are using plastic ones in place of the stainless steel.
They have added rubber grips on the handles which are easier on the hands than the old style. The handle base does have the tie down eye on it.
The regular model is listed as having the following dimensions:
External dimensions: 34.75"L x 16.75"W x 17.63"H
These are the same as the "Marine Elite" the width includes the handles folded down.
The width of the cooler box itself is 33".
Here are some photos. Excuse the poor quality. I had to use my phone's camera.
