Converting to Australian dollars, here's the difference with the basic package:
269GBP = AUS$569
350USD = AUS$405
295EUR = AUS$502
Australian-sourced price = AUS$599
(none of the above include delivery costs)
So, for us, the reasoning seems on the surface to be near-$100 difference between the EUR export price and the USD export price on the base package (the deluxe figures are below my signoff). Thus, the questioning desire to purchase in USD.
Cheers,

Deluxe price:
349GBP = AUS$739
450USD = AUS$521
380EUR = AUS$648

Forgive me for pointing it out, Marc, but you're quoting prices inconsistently. You've quoted the UK price for both the "standard" and "Deluxe" packages INCLUDING VAT, but the Euro price EXCLUDING VAT. Buying from Australia, you won't be charged VAT, so you need to knock 19.6% (the French VAT rate) off the UK prices, which will make them somewhat cheaper than the Euro price. With exchange rates the way they are at present, you're better off buying in Pounds than Euros.
