I recently bought the LX-08 from Sevenoaks (Chelsea branch) and they multi-regioned it for me when I picked it up. Given that they are setup as franchises I'm sure they would be more than happy to do the same for you (though it may cost a little). It took about 10minutes to put the latest firmware and multi-region the unit. I don't know if you have one near you, but the guys in Chelsea are excellent if that's close by.
