I searched around and I did find importers around but the mark up was too much and made no sense. I thought about importing my own but didn't know what all that entailed and sounded like a big headache. I happened upon AcctekUSA and they had a couple in stock in their shop tested and ready for pickup. It was a good enough price that I bought from Chicago and trailered it back to Dallas.

You might also want to keep an eye out on craigslist for a used machine. A decent one at a decent price pops up on there now and then.
