agreed with Tim. Having bought in both places, the UK's got nothing on Aussie when it comes to paying over the top. And it ain't the shops here that are the problem (of course, i would say that "cause I run one), it's the distributors. They are out of control here!!! There are a couple that run things properly with demo stock available and decent pricing but 90% are having a laugh. I was privy to a discussion where a RRP price was being set for a new product and you know how they reached the figure???? US RRP times 3!!!!

Back to the UK, KMR are the boys, Keith and Nicky know their stuff and will do you as good a deal as anyone else (if not better).
