The build quality was reported from the biggest distributer in Europe, who no doubt was buying in large quantities, hence price. I'm sure the planes are great, but there is plenty to choose on the market and this is by no means a top seller.I understand your position if you are the sole importer to the US. As for the £150, well, if they were selling them at that price they certainly would not loose money, after all it may have been the engine that was the key. And, of course th ejourney across Europe is a lot shorter. Anyway, I'm sure its a great plane and many will enjoy it.
