Thanks omegex that's a great tip about using a local wu agent. Much better handing over money in person than online.
Resistor - yes, I'm beginning to shy away from the Chrono, too many complex parts, high service costs and many reports of unreliability (although many are very happy with their A7750, but I don't want to risk it).
Plus the Noob crpo is a great looking piece. Top of my list is reliability so I think the Noob is a better bet than the chrono from BP.
Thanks for all your advice.
Very much appreciated.
