In Aus the full version is now AUD539.00 (USD561) and upgrade from LR1 AUD179 (USD186). Absolutely no excuse in a global economy. Why on earth would we buy it in our own country?

Oh I have relayed this. Its just annoying - the product teams certainly don't set this. The only thing that makes me feel a bit better about this is the poor performance of the dollar vs. the Euro. Its like a tax for living in safer, cleaner, more healthy countries ;-) Yes the catalog will have to be upgraded. Hope you like it.
