After a lot of digging around on the web I'm practically out of options here. If it's not a shipping policy that gets me it's a payment method restriction.
Amazon.com initially looked very promising - they recognised my Amazon.co.uk account but the 'gotcha' that got me was that they couldn't provide an international warranty and they couldn't/wouldn't sell without a warranty. No doubt I'd have had payment method problems a few clicks further along if I had got that far!

Price CAD$119 + tax, for comparism. I could buy/reship, but the CAD$taxes would likely negate much of any savings.

Mark, if that's an offer to purchase and reship then I'd be very grateful for your help here. Amazon.com looked pretty good at USD$104+local shipping but since that's not even an option for me CAD$119+tax+shipping sounds like a pretty good option!
