Argh! I just found out that at a recent event my local Meridian dealer (www.definitive.com) had, that Meridian USA demoed the F80. I should have guessed, seeing as they were on the list, since Meridian have done many (world first) launches at this dealer in the past. I've enquired on US retail price and availability though, so hopefully I'll find that out to pass along.
