Making my Christmas list. Best prices?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Making my Christmas list. Best prices?

So I was told to make a Christmas list of the things I want/need, so I have a list of new toys and I want to see if some of you Internet cycling gear guru's can help me find the best prices. (some of these items are not likely unless you can find some really good deals.)

1. Sidi Genius 5 (44.5)... I tried on some Zeda's at a shop and I was right in between a 44 and 45. (any suggestions on shoes to look at?) will be replacing a pair of Shimano r130b... gunna stop my a few shops to see what they have and try on for size.

2. Garmin Edge (EDIT*)305.

3. Pro 3 race.

4. Quality set of rollers. $150 max.

5. maybe more to come.

I pretty much bought all my Christmas needs pre-Christmas. Unless...I can upgrade my Look 555 to a Look 585 Optimum on the cheap! Although my wife would really kill me.

When I was shopping for my Sidi Genius 5's every place had them at $229 including the LBS where I could try them on. So I just got them from the LBS.

? 305 maybe? If so geomangear.com is usually the cheapest for garmin stuff.
