Ah, thank you for that, I was just about to post a question asking what 
was wrong with it, because it seems to be a similar amount cheaper here 
in the UK, and I had it on my list of 'possibles' if I do decided to get

Now I just need to decide which of my choice of two bodies (M3 and M4P) 
to buy first :-)
