you can buy direct from QSI i believe via there webiste. The bintel price is actually pretty good once you look into it a bit more (as i did beiefly)

The QSI 683 wsg is $3790 US on the website and $5299 from bintel.

the current exchange rate is 89.1 cents (this is what the bank will give you not the reported rate which is 92cents) so that $3790 becomes

$4253, then add on GST of 10% it becomes $4680 then add on the shipping options offered by QSI which i found out was $315 USD this is $355AU

so that is now $4680 + 355 = $5035 so bintel is only marking up 5.24% and with the shipping direct you get no local support or warrenty (there is a QSI warrenty but you have to ship back to them. add on to this the cost of filters which QSI will do also at $279 for 1.25" astronmiks which is $313 gives you a package of

AU$5350 from QSI (with filters fitted)
or
AU$5638 from Bintel (if you fit your own filters)
