Randy,
The Moss copies that I bought a few years ago were identical to the
originals to the point where parts were interchangeable. In other
words, they are excellent. So if they are still the same, there is no
need to pay any more or pay more for shipping from the UK.
At the time you could buy parts from Moss too and I used those to
rebuild some original lamps.
