XP 300 is 200 pounds? woh, I must have got a great deal, I bought mine from a store thaat had surplus stock left over from their sale, (about 5 years ago) and it cost me the equivolent of about 30 quid.

also expensive, but worth a look is The Adrenalinn by Roger Linn...I tak it you are in England? they stock them at soho soundhouse, on Charing Cross...they sell for about 250 pounds, but are full multi0-effect units (endorsed by Clapton) with a whole lot of weird effects thrown in as well)...Roger Linn stuff is great.
