Yes, there is a reason: a lot of people don’t do the math. VAT, customs, shipping... add them up, and you’ll see where that price jump comes from.
Ohhh I do math... I've done export/import of electronic musical instruments from the US to Europe for many years. So yeah, I know it very well, the laws, customs, translation, support, margins, etc... it was my job, so yeah I know math, thank you. And that's also why I can say this is not a good model anymore, not in 2018... in the '70s, '80s and '90s... yeah sure. But not anymore, time has changed. Fractal is very forward thinking when it comes to product development, but not so much when it comes to distribution (sorry, but it's true).
But hey, as said, to each his own... I already wasted enough time here, so have fun!
