Just checked this out. The SV Pro CF from AMain is $330 which is £199.54.
A quick google search shows that it is around the £250 mark from UK retailers.
So it may not actually be much cheaper (if at all) from the USA by the time you add shipping and customs.
But.... I do agree with you to a point, when Schumachers factory is on Moulton Park industrial estate which I could physically drive to and pick up the goods from the door in about 20 minutes from my home, then I would expect to be paying less than people in the USA who have had to have to goods shipped half way around the world....
