John in the UK,
That's not a bad price, locally. I don't think i've seen the RIS 1.5 for

knows where to get it for cheaper, though -- please say so, I'm looking
to buy a Kit soon and would like to spend the least amount of $ possible.

| (...) Er. Try recalculating... The UK price, is equivalent to 240$, not 100$. However if you 'brought direct' from the States, you would have to pay 6% duty, and VAT at 17.5%, so 'net', it is about 197$US, which is exactly the same price as it ships (...)
