I own a Tomahawk Futura 2.5 and the quality is absolutely first class, equal to the best I have ever seen, and whats more Thomas customer service is first class as well, i've had immediate replys to e mails and messages , there are many examples of his products here in the United States, and Ive never heard anyone complain,and as an afterthought, Thomas would never ship anything to anyone that was knowingly substandard, no matter what part of the world they lived in....just my two cents worth..
