Just like to confirm this guy. I also bought my EU metallic Black xl yesturday from shopto in the UK as well and it's serial is QEH1015 9.0 Firmware. It's only £169.95 including free next day delivery. best place to get it in the UK I would say and customer support were really useful when I asked if they could check the stock. From the email I got back he said there's quite a few left in stock so get them while they're there.
Out of curiosity, do u know whether your screen is IPS or TN, unfortunately my one turned out to be TN. The yellow tint on screens.
