I like to buy from a shop where I can walk in and bang the counter if something goes wrong. A third floor attic room/ office over a cafe in Brighton isn't my idea of comfortable...

It is all about getting what youwant and risk management. Different strategies for different people.

Business rates and property rents have already put the independents out of business, as has internet shopping. So the choice of showrooms is now limited. This is true of most retail areas not just photography. The phrase 'use it or lose it' couldn't ring more true. There is no EU import tax on digital cameras ( not so lenses) so the grey importers are essentially avoiding paying the UKs 20% VAT. When eventually everything we buy comes from China or its territories by these sort of deals, the exchequer will have no alternative but to increase income tax. So it's not just about risk assessment around warranty concerns.

That said FixationUK is part of WEX I think. Fixation U.K. are listed as a private company. But their registered office is the same as WEX in Norwich! WEX and Calumet are now owned by Aurelius Equity Opportunities. So not sure how Fixation fit in as a supposed 'private company'?

However, I don't know whether the difference is noticeable at normal viewing distances. Additionally, if one is limited to either DX or FX my preference would be for an FX body over a DX simply because of the greater range of high-end lenses available for FX. There being only one f2.8 "standard" zoom in the Nikon range designed for DX. Given that my choice is FX that would rather necessitate the use of a converter to achieve the same angle of view. My Nikon TC17 11 was markedly cheaper than a D500 body and the amount of use it gets suggests that the latter would have been a waste of money. Others will have a different view based on their circumstances.
