^^^^But, he's not in the Group Buy, because he's in Australia and needs the RH drive version.
As far as the JetHot goes, the standard silver finish is enough even for hot climates. I'm in the Phoenix Arizona and it gets plenty hot here. 115F+ (46+C) I really don't think you need anything more. Again, PPE's distributer in Australia is Lexus of Chatswood, and they set their prices with little or no input from PPE.

Not sure why you believe there is a relationship between the coatings and climate. The purpose of the JetHot coatings is to prevent exhaust heat from escaping the system. The more heat you keep in the system, the higher the velocity of exhaust gases. The higher the velocity of exhaust gases, generally, the better exhaust scavenging you will have. Since our motors are large air pumps, the more air that can be exhausted, the more air (within limits) the motor can ingest. The faster, more efficient exhaust flow will result in the incremental reduction in pumping losses, with the headers themselves contributing the most to this, and an increase in power. The black coating is good to 2000-degrees and, because FIGs really knows his stuff, has been selected as the coating of choice for this group buy.
