Actually, I've tracked down a pic of the DW stacker so I now see what 
you mean.  It looks like a very tidy solution.

Good news if I can get the pads I want.

Ah, I get you.  It was late when I read your message and I think my 
brain had already gone to sleep.

I'll be trying my local drum shop first and if they can't get 
anything soon enough I'll try Thomann in Germany 
(http://www.thomann.de).  They have the PCY65S listed at £48.98 but 
there's no indication of stock level and the fixed delivery price of 
£12 is a bit steep for one or two items.

In fact, it may only be one PCY65S at this stage as I'm tempted to 
wait and see if the PCY150 appears in the near future.
