Actually more like £80 difference.
However, I have a Mercian Audax Special and don't regret one penny spent on it. Mercian's are hearth brazed. This is the slowest method of making a bike frame possible as each joint is pinned, set up in a hearth, heated to let the brazing material flow, allowed to cool and then the next joint is set up ect. ect.
That is where the extra money is spent and the end result is a bike that feels alive underneath you. If you buy one you'll never regret it, if you don't you'll always be wondering.
