I've just checked the Acer UK price list, and I'm guessing it is incorrect. The 8204 is £300 more than the 8202, but the only difference I can see is a 20GB larger hard drive. Have I missed something? ...

I've had poor response from the UK call centre too. Long wait times and a lack of knowledge of the systems. I too will agree they are still quite friendly. I have the advantage accidental (top-end) warranty. My 2nd stick of memory...
