No idea where you are located, but you are quoting Canadian prices. So if by chance you're in the Toronto area, there is a couple store that have Axioms. I called Amie when I was looking for someone/place in my area.

I went to a store in Oakville to audition the axioms. They usually have VP100, VP150, QS8, M50, M60 & M80 in stock. The theatre room is rather small, but you get to hear them...

High Gloss Cherry
M60 VP150 QS8
Open for Auditions but please don't drool on the High Gloss
