Mind me asking how much the wire transfer cost you? I'm guessing for me the fact that wire transfers cost more than zero is still the reason I'm ok with dealing with Dwolla thru their idiocracy...
It is pretty expensive. My bank charges a $45 flat fee, and I think MtGox charges about $10 on their end. However, I do know there are banks that will do it for $20. It's also less convenient than the Dwolla interface (come banks will still make you fax them a form), and it's hard to track where the funds are. It may even be slower, on average.
