Not really. I looked into it and found that the prices are quite similar. The American-made equipment is a little bit cheaper in the US in general. The Canadian-made equipment seems to cost about the same on both sides of the border (maybe a little bit cheaper in Canada). Some Canadian companies like Sonic Frontiers price their equipment in US currency and then just convert it into Canadian currency for the Canadian market. As for equipment made over-seas, I don't know. It would be interesting to hear what other people have found.
