I'm sure the price would be similar or lower when it comes out in u.s., I've never seen anything that's actually lower in price in Canada. It's actually quite common they can't ship international, a lot of bigger names prohibit their dealer from doing that so people in overpriced countries can't bypass their dealer.

I bought a brunton vapor AF when it was discontinued, and so far the only fault/limitation I've noticed is due to having only one jet it cannot burn heavy fuel like kerosene with all blue flame. Coleman fuel and gas both work fine. One thing I like it over omnifuel is the hinged connection going from soft to hard fuel line, makes packing and placing a little easier.
