Ooft. That's an extra $100 on top of what is already not a cheap device. And how does it work in the EU with imports? Will there be a customs fee or import charge on top of that as well? Or is that what they mean by the tax and duty fee they've already included?
Still, looking at the EU reseller, they are charging $335 at current conversion rates for the original Passport, while the official site is charging $260 for the new model. Guess you'll need to wait and see what price the resellers charge for the new model to see which is the better option for you.
