Europe was always a second-class market for Apple (maybe because it really is :)). The truth is that everything costs here 30% more than in US. One of the reasons I bought Cube was because it was easy to drag here from US :))) I will get the 20" lcd in Germany though, I'm afraid I'd get it in pieces from overseas...
