If you are to make a more direct comparison with a full stainless system then you need to factor in the ceramic coating although it still doesn't quite reach the quality of stainless.
Unfortunately, we are screwed on taxes with products arriving from outside of the EU. There is an import tax of 10% and then on top of that there is VAT (currently 15%) on the whole amount including the import tax. However, with the quantity coming in sometimes the authorities can't be bothered with the paperwork on small items so its a bit of a lottery as to what the final figure is.
