Be careful on a direct comparison on the estimated price at this time...as was mentioned these have not even shipped yet and so I am certain that the cost estimate is just that an estimate...

There can be and are some differences in shipping costs between countries and depending on the size of the object and order quantity significant costs differences can occur on a per unit basis (depending on how many can fit into a container).

Also remember that our local Australian price will also include GST a component that the US quoted price will not have...and as it is over AUD$1,000 importing it will attract GST and custom charges and shipping...by my quick and dirty back of the bar napkin estimate the difference does not look too big at all...

But I think it is premature to get into a discussion on price based on this early cost estimate...
