Just had someone (SWMBO) order the Roland for me..after umming and Ahhing between it and the Pfalz.... I like its quirkiness Kind of a late Xmas pressie.
That price for the Gotha is more than reasonable...

Ah – lucky man My SWMBO asked me what I wanted most for X-mas, and I answered (truthfully) "A Gotha" – "Is that like a Spitfire?" was the answer, and "no I'm not getting you that"... Never mind (and why did you ask?)
I do agree with you on the Roland, it has a certain quirky quality that I too like. Also it has wood and Loz – always a very nice kombo in my eyes.

If you need to save some money I am 100% sure I can order one sent to me in Australia, then send it on to you in the UK and it will cost less than 78 pounds...

I am more than happy to help people out if it is financially viable. I mean I got the Pfalz delivered to me in Australia for under USD$70. UKP56 is just over the top to me, but I am not sure if that was with delivery or not.
