According to on-line currency converters $2500 Canadian is a bit more than $2300 for U.S. currency. Dang! With a difference of some $500 I'd be highly tempted to either cross the Canadian/U.S. boarder if a retailer was close enough or use (If available) a certified S/N e-tailer. Might not be what the Canadian government would want, (I know my home states hate it when people buy on-line and don't pay sales tax.) but that's a pretty big difference. Yikes.
