Well, don't get too confused with prices quoted on the net here. The $169
you see a lot is the US price in US dollars.

The reccommended retail price from P-H Australia is A$249.95. So if you
can get it for $150 that is a 40% discount, better than what the co-op
usually gives.

(Though I do agree - you can't trust the buggers.)
