I'm not familiar at all with product pricing (gauging) in AU. The
Addonics card is only $8 more than the Syba card at Newegg, $35 vs $27
USD. Isn't all PC hardware overpriced in AU, just like in the UK? I've
seen numerous mobos and what not priced at over 300 pounds, making them
equivalent to over $1000 USD. These were run of the mill upper midrange
Asus etc type boards that sell for less than $200 USD.

If international shipping on a less than 1 lbs package is less than $30
then yeah, you'd probably save a little.
Sorry I couldn't get you better options, cost wise. I recommended the
lowest price highest quality/compat cards available, in the US that is.
