I think my absolute max would be GBP200.
In that case I guess your best option is to sit on your hands and see if Sony do bring out the 505 in the UK and if it's £200, and then decide if it's right for you, or if you should wait.

I cannot see the price staying at £200 forever, however with screen production apparently at capacity, then that may hold prices up for longer than would be expected for new tech.

My opinion is that the device we could buy in 2 years time for £150 will stomp all over the devices we're now buying for £280. But that's always the case with technology, especially new technology.
