I doubt $700-$800 was going to happen even before prices went crazy. Some time ago, someone at Valve stated they were trying to beat the Index’s $1000 launch price in a way that implied that if the Frame had beaten that price, it wouldn’t have done so by much. The Frame probably won’t see the 40% price jump of the Steam Machine, but it won’t be 0% either. I’m guessing it’ll be somewhere around $1200, but that’s just a hunch.
