john,
hello ! i`ve been buying doepfer a-100 stuff from en-port since 1999. the 
price increase you mention has been recent, spurred by currency fluctuations 
of euro vs. dollar. this has been the only price incease in 3 years that i 
can recall. 
another consideration - if you buy "direct", support is "direct". my doepfer 
has been almost 100% trouble free and the one problem i did have with an 
a-190 was resolved promptly by doug at en-port at no cost to me and out of 
warranty, to boot !  thats why i don`t mind paying a bit more.   i have 
always been satisfied with my en-port purchases and would recommend them 
without hesitation.
best,
dave

Thanks for the feedback, Dave.

After giving this some thought last night, I agree that it makes 
sense to buy from Doug and simply (gasp) ignore the price 
difference.  Doug's a great guy to deal with and I'm sure the support 
(if necessary) will be well worth it.  Besides, I want to make sure 
he stays around at this!  I've got plenty of "phase 2" modules on my 
list already!

Kindest regards,
John
