Would I be correct in saying that that is with the 899$ price at elusive disc? Despite what it says on the web page, that price doesn't seem to include an arm. With the standard VPI arm the price is 1,599$ or 839UKP + shipping + taxes.

That would add up to more than a grand I would have thought.

Edited to add:

And that excludes the all-important dust cover at 249$
