In the past I've done similar amounts using a wire transfer service like Travelex ... from memory, it was a fixed fee (not a % commission) & the exchange rate was good. You just pay them cash over the counter.

The exchange rate is where standard banks often make a killing when doing a wire transfer.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check 'em out. I was secretly hoping that there was some awesome YC-backed start-up that's nailing this problem that I'd missed..but this looks like it may be helpful.
