It can sometimes be cheaper to order from Germany, perhaps look here first;

Looked on wiggle and the green has been replaced with Flash EVO BXP (blue), the write ups say better than the green so got 2 sets. On the label rated as 9 for stopping power 8 for longevity and 8 for modulation. Lets see how they perform.
