Question: The idea of a price limit (£200) has been raised - do we take into account the incredibly high premium Europeans pay for the same equipment?
For example, the MCW50 block is $38.95 at Swiftech's online store for US customers, with no tax for non-CA residents, but the same block is £28.93 before VAT (or £33.99 after VAT) in the UK - at today's rates, thats $52.45 before VAT and $61.63 after!

Do we therefore reduce the amt. that a US kit can cost to reflect this 35-58% premium? If so, by how much?
