Default Looking for a decent Barlow

Having used a cheap SLR 2x convertor for some time for imaging and visual
use, I am ready to buy a decent Barlow. The Celestron (Ultima) and the
Televue offerings are on my list but I am baulking at paying the $1 = £1
prices, and it looks like these companies are preventing direct importing
from their US dealers. Are there any good quality competitive alternatives
available in the UK?

Don't blame the importers for this £1=$1 Blame HM government and
Brussels, almost everything coming into the EU from the US has to have
Import duty and VAT added to the price.


I did not blame anyone (The US/UK price thread has run it's course here too
many times already) Just looking for best value for money.
