I always find it quite surprising that the anti US brigade always make the point of "don't forget if you go to the US you will have to factor in food costs!", don't these people ever eat in the UK then?, or do they get their food free over here?, you can eat like a king in the US for a lot less then over here!
Also another cost to consider with current UK fuel prices is the cost of the fuel getting to and from the airfield, its ok saying that you can get a deal for £5920 but if you are only flying an hour or two at a time and the airfield is some distance away, that saving will soon be gone, especially when you add the landing fees as well.
Theres benefits to both ways, just down to personal choice really.
