I got one from Topps, think it was £70 ish after trade discount. For that money I reckon it's good value.
Plus points:
Heavy duty, handles most porcelain well and all ceramics.
Big enough for most large format tiles.
Minus points:
Difficult to see scoring wheel behind breaker.
Scoring wheel can move away from true unless you are very careful to keep pressure from behind rather than pushing down.

I recently bought a rubi ts40plus and it is a much better piece of kit, HOWEVER, it is at least twice the price. It does score much better, the wheel is clearly visible and it snaps MOST of the cuts in the extremely hard porcelain i am doing at the moment.

As a budget large cutter, the clinker does a good job.

I've got one and it performs quite well. Good value for the money.

As if i would tell the poor bloke about my real big clinker....thats not gonna be good for cutting anything!!! Anyway its shrunk a bit , its only the size of a plumb now.

I usually use Rubys but bought a big clinker whilst my Ruby was on loan and for the price I think it's an excelent piece of kit and I'd happily buy another in the future if it ever wears out.
