Why would you want to buy the Euro version in the US? If you really want it, you're likely going to have to order it from Europe.

Arni,
you will have to order it from Europe (unless someone here in Forum has one for sales), and also be prepared to pay ridiculosly high price, as they cost fortune over here in Europe and there's no refurbs on offer.

RU940+TSU3000+TSU7000+docks=definitely too much

You would be much better off buying the U.S. version and sending that to Europe.

You would need to replace the power pack for the docking station with a 220V pack bought in Europe. This would cost about $15.

Arni,

Make sure the final user won't need RF.
RF frequncies are different between the US and the Europe versions.

If you want to use the optional RF Extender then you must have the U.S. Version with the 3000 (or the European Version with the 950).

[Of course, it is technically illegal to use the U.S. RF Extender in Europe because of the frequency it uses.]

The RF restriction is also valid for ANY other RF driven appliance like any X10 receivers for light and/or shutters.
