Click here for a list of UK members sorted by the last time they visited. Maybe you could contact someone close to one of VXs you found to see if they could check it out and give a review.
I just got my VX and it took me about 5 months of shopping before I found one I felt comfortable with - it was the 5th one I saw. Three were simply awful and one was so showroom perfect that it was out of my budget. I also didn't bother looking a several more due to bad reviews from other members here.
BEST OF LUCK to you!
