This seems a little high when you still have to add on customs after as well
I have heard several bad reports about some Torus mirrors being of marginal quality and in fact issued with inaccurate optical quality certifications, so I would steer well clear of them. I could try to find the article if you like and send it to you.

Why compare the price of a Torus mirror with one of Mark's mirrors? the quality is not comparable so why should the price be comparable ? Mark is arguably 1 of the top 3 mirror makers in the world, Torus may make the top 300 on a good day.
