I'll be in Sydney next week. Ever since I found out the blue 350 was sold in Oz and not the US, I planned to get one on the way home.

The 350 is 229 AU and with the exchange rate now being 1 to 1, I realized I could get a 650 for the same price at home. Since it won't be over 300 AU, I wouldn't qualify for the VAT refund.

I have a 350 and I love the size. Considering I haven't seen either one yet, it's gonna be a hard decision. **sigh** I really like the blue one! Is blue really worth $50 more??
