Price is a little higher than buying the tubes individually, although it doesn't say they are matched. £6 each or two for £18?!

Thanks Steve / Fretless. I didn't think about the tubes needing to be matched pairs. Does it make that much difference? I will have a look on the website to see if they are available like this.
