If you look around, you can find great prices on used stuff (I got a used $2500 carbon road bike for $800). It also helps to know lots of people who bike. Lots of forums out there (pinkbike, etc).
I'm this close to calling my brother in Winnipeg who is a big bike freak to find me a bike there and I'll bring it back with me when I'm there in three weeks. Only kicker is having to haul it home on the plane.

Looks like I might be doing some shopping this weekend - thanks again for all the suggestions!
