No doubt you will be right. It will probably happen immediately if I ever
moved out of town! But a restricting factor of upgrading in the UK is the
cost. Astronomical suppliers in this country seem to believe that US$1 =
UK£1, and not US$1.65 = UK£1 per the stock market. Consequently we're paying
well over the odds (about 60% more!) compared to you lucky quys in the
States! It probably might be cheaper to fly over to the States and bring
back an LX200 with me (if I don't get caught paying the duty)!
