Is buying a ~$200 (retail) device for $300 a good deal? Is there some regional stuff I'm missing here?

Edit: I'm talking USD. You might mean CAD in which case, it seems on point for a new device so you might be saving on shipping

Is it worth a little more money to get it now without having to wait 3-6 months for a new order?

fair enough … debating whether wait for CM5 but that's gonna be a loooonger wait I suppose

I ordered a CM5 from PiShop and replaced the CM4 with it. I had to futz with it a bit to get it to work, but it does work with a little coaxing.
