Price for f4 version is $1400 versus f2.8 version of $2400. I have no idea of UK pricing.
Agree with Tom that $180 for a tripod collar doesnt look very useful.
Well, given that some of Nikon's tripod collars have been less than totally capable (80-400 being a case in point) the good news is that you don't have to pay for a collar that you'll just throw away when replacing it with the inevitable and much higher quality RRS collar.
That said, the only valuable part of this lens is that it's smaller/lighter than the 2.8 version. Yeah, it has improved VR but since it's slower, it probably will need it. Of course, it's cheaper, but I'm not sure cheap enough, quite honestly.
