Dang, you're right about the wait list! Did you know that every now and then I see one brand-new in a European vendor's store. One that comes to mind recently is a dealer called
www.skypoint.it - I checked with George at AP because i thought it might be a scam... He confirmed that AP sometimes sends OTAs to select premium dealers in the EU (do they still do that with Company Seven as well? - not sure). You'll pay a (Euro) premium, but it can short circuit the wait time to zero.
cheers!
