Thanks Static, Apollo 11 was pretty successful, hopefully Orbit 11 will also prove to be.
@BeeKay will do!

Jealous. I'll probably have to wait a month or more (probably also due to US idiotic customs/tariff situation).

Keith, I'll be in touch to ask if I can arrange for a demo if that's ok?

Keith, any reason you’re asking ~£100 more per unit than other vendors, e.g. Gear4Music?

For no other reason that Palmer stated that was the UK RRP, I will of course match the other retailers prices,
