So, I was going to take the plunge and buy a RED One a couple weeks back, but due to the pound going down the drain, it now works out to be around £4,000 more expensive than it was before, and that's without taking import tax into consideration. Friggin' recessions.

:ranting2:

Oh well... Here's to a cheaper future! :)

We also had to pay 40% more than originally budgeted for.

Still worth every single dime/pence/øre.

Same here. The Canadian $ tanked against the US $ and the kit cost me $4000 more then it would have when I first got on the list last Spring.

Now you know how I felt when I had to pay $30.00 US for a sandwich in England, LOL.

Just so you know. If you have your CU#, you can wire $ directly to your account at RED anytime you want. No need to wait until your order is ready to ship.

now you know how we felt for the past year when importing equipment from Europe...I think the dollar just re-balanced itself. You guys enjoyed a long period when the dollar was way off its mark imo.
Bottom line is you cant have it all...when the dollar is high, your goods are a value overseas and vice versa.

Exactly. Put the down payment now and wire when the £ is good... The dollar was so crap when I bought it, I got my Red for the price of a Scarlet... Epic might cost me a Porsche though... :(

M101, just wait a few months. This is a false rally for the US dollar.

Ah, currency speculation...
