7D from Onestop-Digital or Kerso?

Basically im seriously eyeing up a 7D at the moment and have the following prices:

Onestop Digital: £1060 (7D) + £60 (Canon LP-E6 Battery) = £1120
Kerso: £1120 for just the 7D.

Now all my kit is from onestop apart from the 70-200 F4LIS which is coming from Kerso.

Given that im about to spend the largest amount of money ever on my photography hobby is it time I go all my serious kit from Kerso seeing as I'd have a UK warranty?

£70 difference between the two (if I include the batteries!) which in the large scheme of things isn't huge but as a student that could go towards a grip or a upgrade to a 580EX II or something.

So, opinions? What would you do?
Kerso for UK warranty or Onestop for more for your money?

Thanks!

Kerso- having the UK warranty is worth the £60.00

Never heard of them but for that price I suspect its the same as onestop, IE, Hong Kong Import?

Anyone else had dealings with them?

Edit: Yes they are... [Imports]

You realise that warranties only apply to the original purchaser, i.e. they're not transferable? That's Canon's official line, although some US members have managed to get warranty service on second hand gear.

Guy I bought it off said he'd send the camera away for service if required.

Besides, CPS accepted it for calibration so im happy :)
