I would doubt it would be available.. but I would ask the obvious question which you might already have thought of.. Why not G400. :)

(without considering the new specs of the G400) for 'look' of the MX518. :)
also, many old-time users of the MX518 do not seem to be too happy with the G400, as compared to the MX518, saying that its not really an 'upgrade'.

well you need to search a lot in that case.

I assume you haven't used MX518, so it won't be a upgrade for you if you get G400. MX518 might be risky as its production is stopped and warranty might be a issue. I remember s180000rpm getting his MX518 replaced by G400. check with him.

yes, i understand that if i am able to get a new one (highly improbable), RMAing would give me a G400. phew...let me see if s180000rpm or someone else could help me get a used one atleast. thanks for your assistance!
