ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2

Usher isn't claiming the domes to be pure diamond domes. Here's some info from their site:

"...laminated diamond-metal-diamond structure, which consists of a proprietary metal alloy base layer coated with an amorphous diamond-like carbon layer (pure diamond is carbon atoms arranged solely in sp3 bonds; amorphous diamond-like carbon has mixed sp3 and sp2 bonds to achieve its desirable properties) on both sides. The base metal layer of the Diamond DMD dome tames all the diamond layers' unfavorable sonic traits and brings out the best of both materials."

There are many excellent tweeters available regardless of material used. The Usher BE tweeter was easily one of the best tweeters I've heard even though it was mostly titanium.

If I do decide to go with the ProAc's I'm thinking about buying them from a UK dealer and have them shipped to the US. We don't have a local ProAc dealers, and I think I could save a significant chunk of change even after paying a ton for shipping.

I believe the warranty is still good, but I have to go through the UK dealer or ProAc directly to get repairs done. This seems like a minor issue since I don't have a local dealer anyways.

Has anyone here gone this route and what are some of the pros and cons?

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked with USA importer, Modern Audio for locations or dealers?

I have heard both proac and usher and felt that the Usher beat the Proac in every way. I bought the last pair of mini-dancer 2 BE in the country.
