I have one on order as a spare. The only difference is that there is no Rx with it (which I don't want anyway) and it's not C ticked for Oz (don't need that either, as I can just print my own sticker should I ever need to).
They charge more for the C ticked Mode 1 here because that's what most people use in Oz. Like Bruce says, its a five minute job to open up the back and swap the throttle friction lever over to convert Mode 2 hardware to Mode 1. Then it's just a matter of selecting the mode in software.
As shown in this video by richardmrazek:

Obviously postage is a bit more from Hong Kong...about ten dollars extra in my case(all money in Aussie dollars btw).
What goes up...better bloody stay up (until I say otherwise).
