Its worth paying the extra from UK shops, as you are guaranteed the aftersales support and valid warranty where there is one.

Here here .... I personal think they are a bit slack and should find a way of making sure more people pay what is owed.

Having seen 2 of my favourite UK model shops close their doors recently, (luckily neither taking a club with them!!) I understand the damage that is being done to the UK trade and thus, eventually, to the sport as a whole.
