I'm in the UK, which look like they're roughly £300 instead, and at that price I'd not be able to justify the cost to my boss if I wanted to use it at work.

Yes, I know, it's "only" a week of salary, but that's not how I've experienced office budgets to work. There isn't an "Oh ok it's cheap compared to you" argument you can make that means you get to spend £300 on a desk when others are still using single 17" monitors. I'm sure start-ups play by different rules, but at established SME businesses I've worked at it's difficult to get things which cost that much without a lot of long-term effort directed toward that goal, and there are higher priorities for that kind of effort (and higher priorities for the office supply budget).

That price range probably does mean that if I come to own my own study I can justify buying one myself, so thanks for the recommendation.
