I would buy the Lenovo X1 Carbon instead (in fact, I just ordered one).
14" screen in a 13" body, and starts at $979 with the RFD code (just google X1 Carbon on RFD). It's also made from carbon fiber, and I think it's skinnier than the Series 9.

Video of the X1 Carbon getting dropped:

Video comparing the display between the X1 Carbon and the MBA 13"

I've spent the last 3 months debating on which ultrabook/MBA to get. The X1 Carbon won out. The only draw back is that the battery life is shorter than the Zenbook/MBA 13". It's more in line with the 11.6" MBA/Zenbook with the reduced capacity due to size issues.
