Be carefull! Check out with the proper authorities what you'll have to pay in duty/taxes/whatever... Being from a country which is also a member of EU (Denmark) I've experienced quite nasty surprises with things shipped from the US. A dear friend of mine send me a Christmas present last year, worth $100 in original retail price - she also paid the shipping in advance of course. Before I could get it I had to pay something like $80 duty/consumertaxes/whatever... An effective price increase at 80%! Yuck! I would think with GB's a bit less robberylike taxing the price increase won't be that big - but it's worth checking out.Sorry Wayne, I don't wanna spoil business for you! From what I've heard the Pi2's may well be worth the extra price - just wanna spare a fellow enthusiast some grief :(
Btw., have you thought of making a 'middle' version of the Pi2? Like a "Mini Tower" - a floorstander with a height at ~40" & an internal volume at ~2½ cu.ft. would do nicely I think :) Question is what the tuning frequency should be...
