otherwise, you could build up a regular geared bike with derailleurs for very cheap but I never hear complaints from anyone running IGH wheels
EDIT: also, they now have an 11 speed alfine hub you may wish to look into if you want more range.
I saw the 11 speed hubs, but they seem to double the price of the whole rig . Spacing should be worked out this weekend.... free time i use to have so much of it
Edit: oh and i shot off a few emails to places in Brisbane to see if someone does work with these hubs.
