MK Mistral UK Prices

[markb]

Three days ago, I wrote bemoaning the lack of attractive zwave switches in Europe, I thought my prayers had been answered when I found the recently launched Astral range from MK Electric!
Imagine, then my disappointment on receiving a Trade price list - that's right TRADE, you'll have to guess what sort of mark up to add, (plus VAT of course).
Example 2 gang 300W dimmer module 306 with fascia in white plastic 21.35
with VAT that's about 380 after dealer mark up you'll probably be looking at around 450 at least.
If you have a taste for polished brass, budget 76 for the fascia - total 524 inc vat TRADE price!!
Now I know MK has a good reputation, but come on, so do Lutron, Rako etc - they're now the cheap boys in comparison!

Anyone willing to spend that amount of cash on a single control?

I bet the dealers are falling over themselves to stock them [:D]

I thought the Honeywell Hometronic gear I bought was expensive, but I'd have to re-mortgage the house to kit it out with that stuff.

Absolutely crazy.
