I'm in Atlanta. Here the American is less than the price quoted for the Blue Star. I just googled the 30" and pricing seems to be right at $3000 at online shops. That should give you a ballpark at least.

Also, there is an American thread with some photos. See below.

The Bluestar really cannot be compared to anything else because of the style of the burners and the power. Really is the most serious cooking machine you can buy.
Comparisons are like apples and oranges, just too different.
