US prices are generally quoted ex sales taxes, making direct comparisons without adjusting for this invidious.

Look at the price in the € Amazon stores though, it's €290, that includes VAT and is roughly £230, add another €10-15 for delivery to the UK so the Oasis would be yours for £240 all in or thereabouts - £50 isn't a bad saving. In comparison, with the Voyage you'd only save £10 or so if ordering from a € Amazon store once p&p is taken into account
