There are fewer and fewer N-frames for less than $600 these days and it would be a buy for me if I didn't already own a pair of 625-3's. I did not get either one of mine for less than $600, but one's a 3-inch, which is not going to happen below $600 anyway. The 625's seem to go a little higher than the other big bores, maybe because the folks that buy factory ammo can get in on these where .45 ACP is a lot cheaper than 41/44/45LC.
