Actually, for the full-blown Race* (not even the equivalent-to-an-eBlade 9V one) it's £311 + £60 (although I'm sure I heard that the price of the eye kit has dropped, they just haven't updated their webshop yet).
So £370 ish is a fair way off £490
*That's full blown as in comes with datacable, charger, rechargable battery (good for many 10's of 1,000's of shots) all the gubbins you need.

Plus of couse the EBlade looks the mutts.
I'll give you that for the 5-way mount, they did do that nicely (if the shroud will still fit), but again, personal preference comes into play here, and for the actual grip-frame, I prefer one which I can actually get my fingers around,
And as Little Jon says, you can get Jam bolts now in the UK (see Spaklie for more details) so you dont need the eye (unless you're into some hardcore maxing out of the RoF, and want to use a delrin bolt, to save 10ms off the total cycling time)
