Good price mate with the heated handles even if they're not necessary. 260's are fetching 300+ sometimes on fleabay so 400 is a great deal imho.

 

People are raving about the 261 on other sites from other countries, but don't forget that the 260 is a proven model but is a very old design! I love my 260, but i wouldn't mind having a 261!!

I have had hold of the 261 and it's bigger and heavyier than the 260, I have also used the 346xp and if I were to change my 260 I think I would be opting for the 346xp because of the size.
