Same deal in Australia unfortunatley - premiumn price - no stock - no expertise or help/advice.
I also purchased from B&H - very helpful, personalised service and support (which was the last thing I expected from them TBH). I hope Benchmark are wise enough to understand why they should 'turn a blind eye' to international trade in these circumstances. If resellers in those countries were providing appropriate support (or at least supporting the brand with stock), it would be a different matter.
Nice product though
