Ferrino cubic pack Mezzalama 18 - good for Australia?

[Rico]

Ferrino just released a cubic pack specifically designed for the trofeo Mezzalama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzalama_Trophy), a challenging ski mountaineering race. This design is not for everyone, as it is tailored to a specific niche of athletes, but the features can potentially make this pack a good choice for long day walks in altitude. It is a 18lt pack weighting 190g, with loads of features. I am going to get one to satisfy my gear addiction , and I am interested to know if anyone would be interested. I should be able to offer them at less than $200 and it will be available in March.
