For me it depends what your prospects are. I personalize each cover letter and have modified the range given what I know about the company, people, bonus plan etc. +1 to First Lady's idea of giving it a range.

I personally do it so that I dont waste my time at an interview where they are going to try to low ball you. That tends to happen alot in my field when the people doing the interviewing have no idea of the job description or the market.
