Thanks! Funny thing about this 'reduced' price is the amount they charge for shipping. In the end it is the same price as the other one despite appearances. Or at least, that's how it would be for me in France.

I do like the idea of having the same tubes all my life. Only the inside bit needs to change as we progress. So the plastic lids make sense. It seems to me that Uvarov does not offer this feature, so you would have to buy multiple wands as you progress. 💸

Am pretty sure I'm just going to make them in the end. Let's see how motivated I am feeling in the summer...
