    Did you notice that it's a LOT more expensive in Euro than it is in USD? (Under $7,000 US... but €7,500 EU..

    €7,500 = (today) $9,974.73 USD
    $6999.95 = (today) €5,263.26 EU


    WTF? How can they justify charging that much more to Europeans than to Americans? That's over €2,250 MORE :/

    The usual convention is that US prices are quoted before sales tax whereas EU prices will generally include VAT, doesn't explain all the difference but some.
