I stuck my head in the Raffi Boutique in Oakville Place Shopping Centre today to look at an MB 149 FP they had on display. I nearly croaked when I saw the price: Cdn$735 (plus 13% sales tax). With the Canadain $ close to par with the US $ that strikes me as outrageous. They also had a 100 Year SE Starwalker FP for Cdn$550 (plus 13% sales tax). What would you pay for them in the US and Europe?

MB149 retail close to $1000 in Australia but can locally online a little under $700.

I think the current MSRP in the US is $695 but it may have gone up in recent months.

About £365, or there about, here in the UK.
