Levels are probably the single most important tool you will have as a tiler. Don't buy cheap!!!

Just to give you an idea Davie, my 900mm AMI cost me £46 +vat. It is accurate to 0.5mm/M either way up. I don't believe Stabila, good though tey are are as accurate as this. They quote 0.5mm/M normally and 0.75mm/M upside down. Small difference I know but to make it is relevant.

I also think you will find Stabila have "pro" tools and "DIY" tools.

I was going to get the one's in Costco yesterday, £26+vat approx for 1200mm & 600mm Stabila levels, I took a trip to Stax in Worsley, near Manchester and got similar size levels in a zip-up snooker cue style case, with a Stabila Pointerman laser level thrown in FOC worth £50 alone for £30+vat
