I know it doesn't offer as many benefits as a straight Siver membership and has some restrictions, but at 710 Aussie Dollars (about 420 squid), it might get you what you want without a weekend of being stuck in an aluminium tube.

Just a thought...
Or second thoughts, if you are close to a level/renewal level and based in the UK, could you just flip to an overseas adress??
