That's interesting. So the obedient servants of the mother country get the flash aircon to keep them comfy in the stifling hot 25 degree UK summer heat waves. But out in the dominions of Tindal and Pearce etc where it can be 40+ in the shade for days on end they are only worthy of having the big fan on top. Save the expense and the weight of the optional extras.
