To be honest I prefer the one off option. I am sometimes in the
fortunate position of having a bit of money left near the end of the
financial year and rather than appear not to need it, I'd use it for
this very purpose.
Having said that though the cost of the Nature Archives back to 1950
nearly gave me a heart attack. Im still thinking about it.
Best wishes
