Not a great deal:
Creative GF2 Ultra
US = $454.95 = £325.12 http://www.necxdirect.com/hai/prod_page.html?key=0000157125&nonce=guest
UK = £386.57 http://www.dabs.com/products/prod-search.asp?action=search&lp=0&fb=Type&drt=1&tid=700&mid=450&ob=manufacturer&unpaged=true
Remember if you order from the US you'll be charged import tax which is the same as VAT(17.5%)
If you're traveling to the US then its worth trying to jam it in your bag and hope they don't stop you ;)

Or if royal mail decide to pay it for you, or if the sending company sticks an offical sticker on the outside etc.
Even then you'll have to pay extra to get it sent here because it'll have to be an insured delivery.

not to mention the fact I find the Ultra a pointless buy :)
