Compare this to the options in Australia, and this is cheap, actually. And actually for the record I am not really interested in the 2 port version anyway. There is one other product that I am aware of (also not Digium) that is available here but costs a fortune locally. And of course Digium is out of the question here unless you don`t might breaking the law.
