Hmmm. Well, in UK terms those are not too horrific. We always pay 
more than you would in the US anyway (about one-for-one to the 
dollar, despite the conversion rate). Those prices convert as about 
£80 for the PCY150, £64 for the PCY130S, £45 for the PCY130. Given 
that a regular PCY65S is £45 and a TP65S is £80, those prices don't 
fail the falling-off-the-chair test. That hi-hat comes out at a 
whopping £138 however. Which leads me to...

That's a worry. In what way was it "not good"? What was the response 
on the other cymbals like?

Well, the DTXpressI can't do three-zone can it? Which makes the 
PCY150 a bit pointless. The 130S and 130 should be usable, however.
