I understand the Canada is more expensive thing. However, I think $130 USD or $162 CAD is a huge premium over the last known US price. That's 19%.
Still though, if you like it and it looks like a good value relative to whatever else you can find in your market... They are solid devices. I love mine. Don't think 128GB SSD would be enough, but I don't know your storage requirements.
I don't disagree about the price disparity, but that's the reality of living in Canada.

I think Costco has the i5/8Gb/256Gb for CAN$999+tax.
