Bob Japundza's post summed it up very well - thank you Bob

And thank you Dave for your reply too. The prices you
mentioned are in the ball park of the one engineer I
did manage to speak to this afternoon

Being late in the day now in NZ, and I could only start
ringing around at 5pm, I don't have much more info
yet, but I've been referred to a couple of web sites by
that engineer. I should have more details by tomorrow
