I got mine for less than £160 from a company found via a Froogle search.  Next 
day delivery.  Excellent no-hassle service.  Sorry I can't remember the name.

Thanks Steve.  So another question then ... where could you get one of these, 
apart, presumably, from RNIB who seem to sell it under a different number and 
probably for a heck of a lot more money knowing them.

Thanks.
