Where to buy Fuji Royal (Mirukko) R-220 in Tokyo?

I have some relatives in Tokyo at the moment and they might be up for bringing on back to the UK for me. According to the Fuji website they're 4.6kgs so it's not too heavy... Where should I send them to look at one and see if it's too big to take? And to buy, if they decide it's doable?

Thanks !

Before I pull the trigger on the Pietro...

Whats a step up from it?

I am up for paying more if it gets better, but I don't care whether its electric or hand powered so don't want to pay just for that. I like the idea of seperation and something different from my C40. Could probably spend up to £500 ish (the pietro is £375).

Is there anything better around that price, or if not how much do you have to spend to get something that is markedly better?

Fuji Royal R220 vs Pietro ... Or Both?

I know this is a bit of a rogue question... But I'm into the Japanese style of hand drip and it seems like a lot of places in Japan use these Fuji Royal R220 grinders. They're not so expensive, and not talked about so much but those who use them seem to love them.

It's between that and a Pietro, which I know comes highly recommended (as long as you have the stand). I know the pietro is the safer bet, but I'm curious about the Fuji...

Anyone have experience with both?

Getting faster than usual drawdown from Neo anyway, with hario tabbed filters. Any advantage to abaca, and if so what would be the right approach considering the fact that both Neo and Abaca decrease drawdown?
