I must have missed the original posting, but I infer from the above 
statement that there is some question about DX5 availability in the
states.

When I was looking for one last year, a salesman told me that a small
number (I think 200) had been shipped to the US originally because
Yamaha wasn't sure they would sell. This salesman (Bill at Rhythm
City in Atlanta) had gotten several of the US shipment; in fact, when
I was looking for one, his was the only store I could find that had
them in stock.

Supposedly, Yamaha was going to send a second shipment at the beginning
of this year. I suspect that this has already arrived, since I saw a
DX5 in a local store a month or 2 ago.
