well its the AUS dollar price that is of real interest as the CGEpro is upwards of 9K , which given the exchange rate, freight and taxes import duty, middlemen ,and then shop profit puts it into a no buy range for many. they have seen the uptake of the eq6 - wonder if they will price to suit the "emerging" market
