£600 is fair, although it will end up costing you closer to £850 with taxes etc.
Just change the $ for a £ and you wont be far wrong (even with the strong pound)
I was looking at a pair of t3/t4 hybrids, $850 each and around $150 shipping, so about £1200 in uk - ended up getting them from turbotechnics in the end, because they are local - in sheer hassle factor its worth it.

with flights to the us fairly cheap, you may as well go and get it tbh.
