Drop an email to some of the US distros if you want to wheel and deal.
They will be able to give you a much better price than the local monopoly we have here (i.e. something a bit more substantial than $50 off a shaker motor).
Even though our dollar has dropped back to where it has always been historically, you can still get a good deal from them as the US guys actually have to compete with each other to get a sale and are far more flexible in this regard to the domestic.
I wouldn't bother to go this route with Pro models though, unless you were siting the Pro for the purposes of running them into the ground and then writing them off at the end of their useful life (6-12 months tops). History has shown that their values drop like a lead balloon in comparison to the LE/Premium range. Plus the pinball playing public perception is that are easily categorised as only 75% of a machine anyway.
Have to admit though that in 2015 there really is nothing to compare in seeing dots in two shades of pure orange. If only I could take a photo of it on my Nokia 3210.
