You're paying $29 and some change in Canadian dollars, which were trading at .64 cents US at the close of Monday. Let's round up for the sake of easy math and say that your $30 spent on the SACD is like us spending $20. Since I can get them for un 'unusual' $14, you're paying a premium of $6 US per disc, over me, with everything else being equal (which it is not, since I won't have to pay tax or s/h with my Amazon deal.) When Amazon removes the preorder special price, we'll be more in line with Canada, so all's not lost.Still, you buy all 10 discs and you're pinched for a total of $60 extra, which while not an insignificant sum, isn't the end of the world. You should call your Amazon and ask them why they don't have the special and maybe they'll match the US Amazon's price?
$29 for a hybrid, remastered SACD vs. the $21 Canadian for standard discs isn't too bad a deal, IMO.
