I would really like one, I can get the Starmix version at a reasonable price from Germany without batteries. I just find it a real shame that there is no mains adapter available - I have a 5 year old Makita that is either 2x 18v or 230v - it can't be that hard to do.
Let us know how you get on with it if you do get one - you will probably need an extra 2x batteries though, unless you can keep battery use to 2 a day and charge over night.

I only want it for install work, so mains not really a consideration for me. I'll be able to leave my CT26 in the shop. Will definitely get another battery or two, if I don't go with the above deal.

I've been thinking of buying one of these as well. So I go to my local Sydney Tools to have a look at one but the guy said they weren't prepared to pull it out of the box because it's to hard to put it back in. He also said even if it was out of the box I wouldn't be able to test it out with my own batteries because then it would be used. Why would I fork out over $2000 if I couldn't at least see what the suction is llike. I would not buy from Sydney Tools. Seriously lousy service.

My local United Tools has one on the shelf and they're always willing to let you try before you buy - do you have one near you?

Wow, what bad customer service - take your money somewhere else
