I bought 2 and the UPS postage came out to around US$62.  The parcel was
delivered in 4 days.

The Duet is not prime time yet.  There are a number of issues.

First, it is lacking native support for Chinese chars (or any double
byte chars).  There is a work around for it, but you'll need to get the
proper unicode font and with a little knowledge of linux in order to get
Chinese to display on the controller.  I'd not call this hack "easy",
but it can be done.  It is hard to imagine lacking foreign language
support in this day and age when it is all built-in (no user fuss) for
something as simple as an iPod Nano.  As far as I can see, they're not
going to support this officially, because there is no room in the
firmware flash to add the unicode font.  It has to be added to an SD
card which you can plug into the controller and do the proper symbolic
links in linux.

Secondly, there are still numerous bugs with the SqueezeCenter and the
controller can be twitchy at times with wifi connections.  I've a few
posts in the forum on various issues.  For now, there are work arounds
but it is certainly not for the computer savvy consumers.

Just my $0.02
