Hey all - thank you for all your replies.
I totally agree with you vtgts500kw - NZ is a small market, and no doubt prices are hiked up with good reason. :S
I'm going to Japan later this year.. and I just had another look at their website - turns out I can get the 15" SD PB for Y245,511 ($2,270 USD) on Educational Discount, which is right down there (actually a bit lower) with the US prices.
So.. I may just wait until I get over there, and flash out my student ID.
If for any reason I can't do that, I also found http://www.bhphotovideo.com - they have custom built PB's and ship internationally.
Thanks for all your help guys - I'll let you know how my new PB search goes!
