Finale PrintMusic 2007

Hey. Looking for a decent price for this piece of notation software.
Got my Pre diploma keyboard exam coming up and need it for my own composition.

Cheapest I've found is £32 from ebay - but it's america so shipping is about £10, making it about £42. Plus isn't there a risk of getting taxed for the shipping?

There's also one called Finale Songwriter, it's cheaper. Does anyone know how it compares with PrintMusic?

I have no idea where to look for software on the net. Tried kelkoo which was useless.

Thanks!

Bump.

Does anyone know where I can find this cheap?

Where's the best place for new software?
