TL;DR - When/If you purchase Arx, select GBP as your currency to get the most Arx for your money (preferably the 85000 Arx option)
When you purchase nearly anything online in a foreign currency as an American, your credit card will take the daily conversion rate to convert the purchase into USD. Since you can purchase Arx in one of four currencies, this means that that you have a choice when it comes to the actual cost of the transaction.
My calculations are based off of US users, but the conversion works for any currency.
Based off the present conversion rates and published prices for Arx, this means that the most cost efficient way to purchase Arx is actually the 85000 Arx option in GBP.
Just food for thought for anyone who is purchasing Arx. I was surprised at how much of a discrepancy exists between the currencies. Based off of how this looks, it would seem that nobody should ever purchase Arx in US Dollars. GBP seems to always be the best purchase option, or at least until they manage to balance the pricing.
*NOTE: Some credit cards issued from banks as a Debit Card may charge a currency conversion fee. I have not found this to be the case for my bank, but it is a possibility. This would of course change the efficiency of the non-USD currencies if you are a US customer.
