But getting the DR800 in Europe cheaper doesn't sound promising to me. Given the current exchange rate, the US price is about $240 cheaper than here and it has the wireless stuff. I can see that maybe the exchange rate gets worse, but I cannot see making it up a price difference that high.
I forgot the smiley, that was meant tongue-in-cheek. Though only a few years ago the USD was at 0.8 to 1 Euro. Historically, the US Dollar has always moved up and down by 30-50% over 7-10 year periods. Before they had the Euro those movements were against the German Mark. Besides, I wouldn't have to pay VAT in Europe, so an exchange rate of 0.95 would already mean the same price for me.
