Thought this might be of interest to some. If enough people harass the suppliers here, who knows what might happen.

Those refill prices look pretty good, but hang on... look at the price of SG argon cylinder purchase - this would cost NZ1321 + GST : that's about twice the price that we can get the same for here (accounting for exchange rates)

It was not so much the pricing, but what is available over there, so there MIGHT be hope for us yet, to get other gasses on a non rental scheme.
