Sorry... Ive just only now caught this..... the above shows me that the fees are killing you.... even if you went to a commercial bank that will give you the non-customer rate, you would for sure get at least AR$3.00 for every dollar... so even without going to a Banco Nacion or Exchange Bureau you are already ahead. This is a no-brainer in your case.
