They are about 25 mins drive from me, have used them quite a few times.
That is an excellent price, makes me wish I had waited instead of buying a used "imaginatively described" K-1

I don't think anyone really believes they will be getting a £349 discount twice over, do they?

Who knows, Amazon did the same recently and it worked out slightly cheaper than £1349.

They also applied a 10% student discount to the original prices, effective on top of the discounted prices. My brother got a KP for £485... jammy git!

I guess the K-1 would have come to £1100 all in after all the discounts.

All the gear with no idea
