Which Epson? UK or USA? Epson USA has it in the shop 
http://tinyurl.com/3t936 for $2999 which is a joke, the price was dropped 8 
months ago for the new model (around $2200-$2400 now), which is not 
mentioned. I believe this website is not well updated.

The Epson UK shop http://tinyurl.com/y3h28l says "not for sale" for the 
R-D1, no R-D1s mentioned. The extra website http://www.epsonrd1.co.uk/ 
mentions the R-d1s but no price.

Epson UK was not able to deliver a flawless R-D1 to replace my defunkt one, 
which means the few last R-D1 samples they have are all objectable. My 
dealer offered me a R-D1s upgrade for a small additional cost.

 From discussions over at RFF in the R-D1 section I have learned that the qc 
issues with the R-D1s are less bad than with the R-D1. I would definitely 
not take one of the few left R-D1 samples regardless where you are. The 
chance to get a lemon goes close to 100%.
