Yape, I've got mine for $650 CAD when USD rate was pretty much even.
So for 500 Euro is pretty good price considering it's very hard to find a brand new D7000.

The Lawton mods will not make D2 or even D5k better than D7k

This is correct.
I actually found the Lawton mods created a worse listening experience than either of those two stock cans... and nowhere close to the excellence of the D7k.

My preference was, after listening to the D7000 stock, to have Mark Lawton do his magic and add angle pads.  Made a good headphone great.  Again, my opinion from my listening.  And when I auditioned a TH-600 with my D7000's side by side (same music/amp/etc) they were the equal of the Fostex phones.  Made me feel good knowing how much the TH600 is highly talked of (rightfully so by the way) that these were as good. 
 
Like the looks of wood cups as well and if you want to spend some $ Lawton has cups available in all sorts of different woods.  Not sure if there is any sound improvement myself from the stock wood but some believe it does (just as some feel changing wires makes a sound difference).

Yes im not US based though. That means the shipping costs would be tremendous. I did see the angle pads and was thinking about adding those later. Going to listen to vanilla D7k first haha. Quite a step up in price from my Dt990.

That's weird, my Denon D7000 came with the angle pads, not much as LCD2/3 pads but slightly angled. And not sure spending extra money on Lawton, I will instead spend couple hundred more for TH900. ^^.

Yeah, the stock pads have a slight angle but they're not the angle pads from Lawton. You can see the difference on his website.

Anyway, the TH900 for $1500 vs a D7000 for around $750 before mods. Pads $100 and the mods $100 and you're done. Just a wee bit more than a couple hundred but I get the point. :D Same discussion I've had in my mind a number of times.
