Usually in North America it is scarcely available and it costs more than in rest of the world: moreover, currently it's the lowest price on NewEgg for such a performance level.

What's the advantage over, say a 212 evo? No sleeve bearing for your ears? :P

Scythe Kotetsu also uses a sleeve bearing fan.

You got noticeable improvements in cooling and quietness over those 212 Plus/EVO/X.

Sleeve bearing is not necessarily the evil for ears, despite their weaker reliability: lots of times FDB bearings were worst (think to an expensive Noctua F12 iPPC PWM: despite the high cost, high build quality, its six poles motor and SSO2 bearing, it's actually one of worst offenders at low SPL).
