The old Saltigas were more expensive than the Stella FA series but when the Stella SW series come out , the Saltigas were cheaper but now the new Saltigas are released , the whole cycle is repeated again and usually during the first few months of the new release , prices are very high but 12 months later , they supplier will start reducing price to get customers . As for situation in Oz , as Brandon described the exchange rate is in favour of buying from overseas rather than buying from local retailer although with JPY there aren't much can be expected as JPY appreciate pretty much the same as AUD against other currencies , most of all to USD .
