Thanks for the quick response. Wasn't the answer I was hoping for though. We tend to pick where we travel based on where we can get the GBP 100-150 fares . . . they all seem to price into 50% buckets. Frustrating, but I rather not spend the extra money for the extra 250-500 EQM, but thought it was worth seeing if anyone had any other ways around it since I don't need to go through a TA.
