To all you miserable shits who automatically assume the sterling price will be a straight 1:1 exchange I suggest you apologise.
It actually works out cheaper here in Blighty. At the current exchange rate of $1.5709:£1 the US price works out at £1209.47 + local taxes.
Here in the UK the price at Insight is £1,008.99 + VAT = £1,185.23
