Hi Ibrahim
Agreed largely, but the only thing I would say is that John Lewis offer a
two-year guarantee on all their products, where most other online outlets and
department stores don't.

Hi.
Although they do have a reasonable selection in my opinion, their prices are
nothing to shout about. I always look at products in retail stores then buy
them online. Play are doing the pure move at £89.99 at the moment, though I
haven't checked other websites for more competitive pricing.
All the best, Ibrahim.
