Personally I think I will not upgrade, you had a lot of hassle to get it arranged. Yesterday I did some testing removing DRM from ePUB and converting it to LRF, and that works fine.
The only cost was transporting it to the US via post.

Good to know, but luckily for me the ordeal is over.

Yep, this is a good reason. I've had to discount the 900 and the Nook (their cellular support to my knowledge is useless in Australia - and AFAIK the Nook wi-fi only works with the B&N store which I can't use in Australia either).
