uk rom prices aren't great at the moment, as well as half of them 
being unavailable now. www.digitalvillage.co.uk and www.turnkey.co.uk 
were the two most reliable suppliers I used. Don't buy online though, 
contact them over the phone, they are doing some pretty good 
discounts (turnkey quoted me £169 for one board - can't remember 
which, but when I asked for a deal they went straight down to £139). 
Digital village quoted me £125 each for orch 1 & 2 bundled together, 
while on the website they're much higher. If you can find anyone in 
the uk/world who will ship a sounds of the zr,enqoniq project or pure 
phatt to the UK then email me, because I've had no joy whatsoever. I 
got turnkey's last world expedition and no-one else does those 
anymore either.

Rom pricing: protozoa seems to be £99 everywhere, techno is around 
£130 but xlead 2 is quite pricey - I had to settle for 169, and they 
wouldn't even budge when bundling it with one of my px-7s.

Bargain wise turnkey are now doing the px-7 at £329. If you flog off 
the drum rom for a ton on ebay, that means you get a hardware 
sequencer and bare proteus synth for just over £200, which is pretty 
good going.
