Dell monitor - buy from Dell or Overclockers UK?

I'm looking at getting a Dell monitor, and comparing the price between Dell direct and Overclockers UK, I can see there's about a £5 premium for going with Dell (including Delivery etc). OCUK claim 4 years warranty, whilst Dell claim 3 - I phoned OCUK and they said it might be that Dell reduced the warranty since they put in on their website - so I'll assume that wherever I buy it, it'll be 3 years warranty.

Anyway - where would people suggest I buy it from? Dell or Overclockers UK?

OCUK claim to have it in stock, whilst Dell claim 5-7 days delivery time, but I'm not in a big hurry. What I'm more concerned about is customer service and Distance Selling Regulations problems.

I'm leaning towards OCUK simply because they have it in stock, and are slightly cheaper. If I need to send it back for whatever reason, it'll be cheaper to send to Bolton than Dell's Ireland base (assuming monitors come from the same location as their desktop/laptop assembly plant in Ireland).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

David

Plus, they're bringing out the 2007FPW/2407FPWs soon so I'm guessing the current discounts are an attempt to help clear stock before the new ones come out - and seeing as the 3007FPW has recently been released and is excluded from their current 20/25% discounts and has a silly £3.53 discount on a nearly £1500 purchase, I can't expect their new xx07FPW range to be discounted much for a while. ...
