I've been keeping an eye on the stahlwerk welders too. Their website looks to be a little cheaper than their prices on ebay, especially for the foot pedal.
Stahlwerk AC/DC TIG 200 PULS S = €750 / £625
There's one with plasma cut, at €900 / £750 - http://www.stahlwerk-schweissgeraete.de/en/shop/139-acdc-200-tig-puls-with-plasma-s.html (good video too )
Foot pedal is €35 and delivery for the welder is €20.
I know Rtech get a lot of good feedback on here. Their 200A machine is £1,260 though, compared to £670 for a similar spec stahlwerk. It's good to have piece of mind by buying from a UK company, but nearly twice the price seems expensive to me.
The feedback on ebay for stahlwerk looks pretty good too.

feeback on ebay is meaningless
most of it will be put up there just after buying machine not after using it for a bit
so warranty problems breakdown etc will not be in any of the feedback
you will have uk vat and customs duty to pay on that as well
This is why I always check items on Amazon before going for the cheapest option or the local supplier if I care about warranty. Feedback from Amazon is for the items, not the seller. You can also go back several months later and update your feedback which many people do. If buying from Amazon themselves (as opposed to one of the companies which sell through amazon) the postage is free to the highlands and islands, even to here in Northern Irelandfeeback on ebay is meaningless
