Germany is certainly cheaper by a substantial amount than the UK for Leica gear. I paid 1/3rd less for my R8 motor there and it was delivered in 3 days. In the UK it is illegal for manufacturers etc. to fix the price of their products, they can only 'recommend' but you won't find much difference in advertised prices - you need to talk and haggle!
