When I upgraded my GM8 to GOTO I had to go to (groan) the US. I could have placed an order with the UK importer (a chap called Ninian ... can't remember his last name) but it was a special order even back in the 2000's (and at the "traditional" £1 == $1 astronomical exchange rate) so I decided to save myself a packet and I bought it from OPT.

I imported my Titan directly from Losmandy - no problems - you just pay the VAT and small customs duty. Have you considered that?
