I am an importer/exporter albiet a different product, you must remeber they are many hidden costs associted with importing ie inland freight costs USA, export freight costs, Duties, Insurance and a profit for the importer I would guess a cost of US$4200 would equate to a landed cost of about AUD$5800.00 so if the retailer is charging $7k thats a 20% markup not a lot in the commercial world. Also dont forget the retailer in Australia will be reposible for all back up and warranty claims.
I have read on these forums guys who reckon they have saved heaps on importing themseleves, but conversley you dont hear about the disatsters, shippments not arriving, parts missing, damage in transit etc etc I guess you take a chance, personally I would only buy equipment from a regonsised Australian distributor
