mate you can buy dc 13.4 off ebay for 100 pounds as long as you don't mind waiting a week or so. they are not as good as the anr ones but its basically the industry standard.
They are comfy, cheap to repair, robust and if you only need them for pleasure flying there really good, additionally what was your instructor wearing? probably dc 13.4. that should tell you something.
If after this you then want to buy an anr set wait till the pound is strong against the euro/dollar prices should come down.
P.s my instructor had his dc's for over 15 years
