Well, there's the issue of sales tax, I grant you that, but it varies from country to country (or state to state in the US, I understand). It still does not even begin to account for the differences in sales price. Local (!) shipping costs also apply in most cases, I don't know how you can seriously add costs of shipping to Europe (!) to your figure.
Make no mistake: if shipping from the US + taxes would result in a substantially lower price I'd certainly buy there. With the recent price cuts for the American market we're pretty much there. All that aside what I'm seeing is that list prices are slashed by 15% in the US with no similar mobility in the European market. Put bluntly, it pisses me off ever so slightly and makes me look even harder at alternative options.
