For anyone else who is interested in this, this is what I sent to Sue:

Hi Hun I started a thread in pregnancy chat about the stokke xplory and someone mentioned you had one. I just wondered what you thought of it, I've seen the demo and it looks great but it's hard to get real reviews as not many people have them.
Any advice would be appreciated x

Hey Sue!
If you've got the money I'd say go for it! I love love love it. Best thing ever!
I got an amazing deal on mine for £935 exactly a year ago from thebabystoreltd.co.UK (based in Warrington - not sure where you are?) they might deliver? I got for that price:
Chassis with shopping bag
Carrycot
Hood
Pushchair part
Stokke footmuff (too warm past say march but there is an amazing woman on Facebook called WillowTree Designs who can custom make you a thinner liner for spring/summer)
Newborn insert for pushchair (don't use before 3 months)
Maxi cosi cabriofix car seat
Car seat adaptors
Maxi cosi family fix base
Cup holder (essential!!!! This is my fave bit!)
Parasol
Carrycot rain cover
Pushchair rain cover
Mosi net
Travel bag (for onboard flights - was brill when we went away).
The only thing I didn't personally like was the change bag - I felt it was too small so I got the bugaboo one instead which has rubber on the underside of the strap and it stays on the bars no probs. My friend has the stokke changing bag though and loves it, says it's adequate. Just depends how much crap you take out and I'm a hoarder so take too much.
I also bought a buggy buddy lock which is the only one that fits round the thick Stokke handle. I hang my shopping off this. Just have to be careful with younger more lighter babies though as the handle part isn't supposed to be load bearing so you wouldn't want to tip it up. I've also used the buggy lock to attach the pram to railing in the park whilst we play. It's good peace of mind and was only £11.
If I have another baby I will get a buggy board for it so blake can stand on that.
Hope that helps?

Ps - don't get a light coloured one as they do get dirty!
The shopping bag at the front is great for knackered puppies too!
