Cuprajake yes agree its not great when we see that sort of price jump. It was me who mentioned the sub 1k level for duty. In this case a buyers options for the DF83 is via a retailer (who will have taken care of the import duty/VAT) starting around the AU1600 mark as mentioned above or buy direct from www.df64coffee.com for around AU940 landed or add the SSP burrs to that order to bring the burrs up to a similar standard as the Aussie model with the DLC burrs and pay AU1465 and another likely AU140 for import duty being a total of AU$1605.
So yes, the option is still there to save, so long as the buyer is happy with the Italmill burrs, which by most accounts perform quite well.
