B&H has been in business a long time and is very reliable.
Not sure how you come to that conclusion.

T1 124.99
NY Tax @ 8% (?) 10.00
Shipping 40.00
--------
174.99
UK VAT on $174.99 35.00
Any duty to be paid ?
-------
$209.99
Exchange rate on credit card will probably be around $1.50/£1

So total will be approx £139.99, and that's assuming there is no duty imposed.
Therefore it's still cheaper to buy here in the UK.

You only really save on buying stuff from the US when you can collect it yourself. The shipping and duty/VAT on import usually negate any savings you might make. And the mistake that most people make is that the US price does not include tax whereas the UK one does.
