but Dell UK wont tell me without emailing them for a quote. For actual systems they seem to match the dollar (ie a $1500 system costs £1500 bought here!) and I'm suspecting they'll do the same with warranties :/

Dell are a difficult company to deal with. They will sell you a cheap item because it is bespoke manufactured and made from proprietary parts. They rely on you having no option but to return to them in the future for replacement parts. A small example is a motherboard in a desktop that a friend needed replacing. Dell quoted £230 for the board to be replaced and that it had to be done by their qualified staff.
I replaced the thing for £52 ( I did not charge labour but you get the picture ).
