Is Bitstamp a viable option?

I've been using coinbase, but I'm looking to buy large amounts (to me) of BTC for purchasing gear - and the fees I feel like are started to eat me up.  That coupled with the fact I have to wait so many business days, is hurting my ability to get things done quicker.

Bitstamp seems like a cheaper option if you're trying to buy large amounts, just sucks for US citizens that we can't do what looks like a free SEPA transfer, and have to do a wire transfer (again added fees and waiting).

Are there any options for US Citizens to do SEPA transfers?  Also I was thinking about making my own thread - more for resellers for BTC gear who need to convert their revenue back into BTC, but blah
