I was going to do the same, but I figured it didn't do any harm to let people know about the discount.

Not by the time you pay for the shipping and GST. Plus you get a camera with a US warranty rather than an Australian one. To really compare, I just loaded up the K-3 in a cart with Adorama, with the free grip. With shipping it is US$980.75, or AUD$1114.49. If I get the K-3 at the 15% discount and a grip from dcxpert, it's about AUD$1279. That's a difference of $165 which is significant. I guess it depends on how much the local warranty is worth. Personally I'm not that excited about buying the battery grip, so for me it's a comparison of AUD$1050 vs AUD$1114. I'm hoping that CRK can offer some more competitive pricing in the next month.
Personally I prefer to have a local warranty on the camera body.
