    Not really. You won't get much better price/performance than a 305. You can save some money by buying from the US and getting someone to ship/carry it back.

    I see its pretty good value in the states, think I'll need to save for the 305 and get it from the states to replace what I'm currently using.

    Are the US prices better than what are for sale on Amazon.com?

    Why don't you have a look at some of the websites (including amazon.com - your link is for Amazon.co.uk).

    I've just ordered a new 310xt from handtec.co.uk which looked to be about 30 quid cheaper than Amazon.co.uk and even more of a difference than Wiggle could manage, even with the discounts added on. Their shipping is £20 to Ireland though so might not be enough of a difference to make them worthwhile.
