The fare was $1,538 (that's the introductory fare on the A380 JFK-MUC route) plus $784.50 in fees, for a total of $2,322.50 per seat. Also of note is that I'm starting on the right coast, while you're starting on the left coast, so that probably accounts for at least some of the diff.

OK, so I didn't do so bad afterall... and have the comfort of knowing I can cancel without penalty in the unlikely event something comes up at work preventing me from taking delivery on 13th Sept.

BTW -- I've found this ED wiki and forum to be extremely helpful. Huge kudos to you and everyone else who have contributed by documenting their experiences here. Takes a lot of the guesswork (and worry) out of ED for us first-timers.
