Erik,
I have heard, tho' have no first-hand experience, that quite few OOUK scopes have serious QC issues. Though they are usually well reviewed, they don't appear to be much better than the competition and are more expensive. If they were just up the road, I might take a punt, but being half way round the world sort of nixes the idea.
I do like their all-metal bases though - but at 300 GBP, they're a tad expensive.
Exchange rate issues again as not only would I be paying approx. 2.3 times the local price, I'd have to pay transport, and import duty and GST would be based on the converted GBP to AU$ price. Ouch!
