There is more to that I think. We have Vietron as Dutch importer/distributor. Next there is the owned (paid for) demo gear at the local M-resellers. They all need to eat and raise families as well. You can debate if the delta is too much compared to for instance UK, but I suppose that is the market pricing in NL which is in general high compared to other countries. The turn over of M gear is not so high and the set up for M gear is often an @home service, which implies a higher cost per unit. Transparency of global market pricing is not a bad thing for us consumers, speak to your reseller about it where you go for a demo as well...
