These guys are normally within a few £'s of SRD. The 1K choosera is about £10 cheaper, and the rest are slightly more.

From them 1pro, 5, 8, 12 = £222
SRD 1pro, 5, 8, 12 = £203

Very similar pricing to SRD.

1, 4, 8, 16 = £280
SRD 1, 4, 8, 16 = £284

Nortons always seem to be double price, but I suspect that is because there a USA company and the stones are expensive to import because of that.

King stones can also be picked up pretty cheap if you look at the woodworking sites.

Add the customs and VAT duty to the SRD prices to import and suddenly £20 more is reasonable.
