Lots of places in the UK have similar or better prices. Shiny Bikes, Ribble for example. Having all the parts in stock can also be a problem.
Another warning. The SR cassette costs a lot and with 6 Ti cogs, will last half as long as Chorus steel cogs. I always buy Chorus cassettes to get all steel cogs.

I cobbled together a Chorus 11-26 (10-speed though). I swapped the 23-25 set for a 23-26 set. That 34x26 has come in handy a bunch on the steep climbs in the CA mountains.
The Record cassette is too pricey and wears out too quickly.

Super Record is cheaper than Record. Weird.

My full 11 speed chorus has come in from PBK and it looks great 
I ordered everything as individual components, only to see the boxed set come up after mine was all ready in the air. Could have saved a bit but not fussed.
