Okay... i get the idea

ops:
I figured that it may work out like this, so i guess i will end up paying full-whack.
Just to say./.. if i bought a £1000 system in the US it would cost around $1000 - so i would save around £350

.... the duty would only be 17.5% + 3% making a saving of only £170. I would happily pay £170 to get a better warranty service, so UK it is then
