That's decently more expensive! $300-700 difference is pretty significant imo. Like I couldn't swing that I don't think, pushes it too expensive
It could also be a difference in how sales tax or whatever is presented. I know in the EU, VAT is included in online pricing, whereas sales tax in the US is not. I don't know how Brazil runs things, but that could explain a chunk of the difference. The US also likely has higher volume for these kinds of things, so prices will likely be lower in the US than Brazil.
But yeah, it looks to be about 40-50% more expensive, which is substantial. If you're looking to spend $600-700 on storage, there's a good chance you can afford another $300-400, you just don't want to spend that much.
