This is the biggest rip off I’ve ever seen. The D-series is nowhere near this much (£2264.23) in a million years. In fact, if you check the link below you’ll see their most expensive is £1495 inc vat.

Dunno where you’ve got that price from Ian, but you’ve been robbed by about a grand. :open_mouth:
