My advice is to bring everything you need with you (if its costly stuff). Its cheaper in the UK. However you may have to declare it to customs if you have owned it less than 12 months. I was in the same situation as you are about three year ago when I made the move (first to Melbourne and then moved up to Sydney). I took all my astro gear with me.
Make sure you insure it well during transit and use a good removal company. I had no problems-didn't even need to collimate the two SCT's I shipped over when they finally arrived. Takes about 10 weeks to get here and clear customs and quarantine.
