What do people think of this one:

It's exactly the same charger as DX sells for £5 less with free p&p.
It's exactly the same charger that DX sells and many people are using with no problems and have been for a long time.
You'll be £5 + £5 p&p down initially and if it goes wrong you'll have to pay to return it. I can't see how you can benefit from paying more for the same item. It would be cheaper to buy from DX and buy a replacement from DX if you ever need one.
Try to bear in mind that it's very likely that much, much less than 1% of buyers have expressed concerns about these chargers and that's mainly paranoia as they haven't had problems, but are just concerned they might have.
Reliability will be the same regardless.
