I spoke with Kent Sallaz, my rep, and he said that the sales staff has been informed of a Q1 delivery and a $599.00 US price point. For me , it's a no brainer. No shipping or tax.
The > $100.00 V.A.T. when buying from Kemper was the deal breaker for me.
I ended up ordering from Sweetwater too...along with a bag. And candy! I'm still waiting for someone from kemper sales to cancel my order. It's been 2 days now.
