Woops, it looks like I might have had changed colours in my cart. That should have been $1600.
$1600 comes from $55 shipping, $55 for heated bed upgrade + glass (kit is unclear if this is included) + $1490 for the printer kit (price jumps $95 from the $1395 when you say it is for Canada/Mexico). I'll add your additional questions to my enquiry.
