    Yes i would presume if you have not had a reply then your quote could not be beaten or the people that help out on here have been busy and have not had time to answer yet.

    Yes - the price you have from FCH website is over 10% off the price on travel agents system - I don't think you'll find a travel agent prepared to match it let alone beat it.
