I think the OP is in Australia, and iirc Australia has quite a low threshold for exemption from their GST, so the OP may well find your list relevant to their situation, making the device not as low-priced as it seems. And without knowing what Australian consumer protection laws are like, the absence of any redress by means of them (because of parallel importing) is likely also something to be factored in, along with the difficulty of returning a defective item.
