iCandy apple vs bugaboo vs mothercare spin?

Hello!
We're new to this so have started looking around for a pram for our 1st baby due in Jan.
We've only been twice so far but quite liked the look of the ones mentioned in the title.
Any opinions pros cons etc would be very gratefully recieved! This pram shopping's a minefield especially for someone who struggles to make a decision over what to eat between two meals let alone such a massive purchase!!! x

the bugaboo is much better quality and resale value than the other two (%age of price paid) i have had the apple and bugaboo and the bugaboo was much better is design and usability, smoother to push as well. seen the spin in mothercare and around town but i have been put off buying mothercare buggies as the resale isnt great and not 100% sure about the quality.
i would have a good look at the reviews online and when you choose one there is always a discount to be had , never buy rrp if you can help it. you can get a great bargain on e-bay as well and then if you hate it you can resell and even make some money.
think about of you will be going off-road as well. i regularly go to the beach and the mountain buggy is the only buggy i have had that can manage some of the sandy and pebbly norfolk beaches we go to(and i have had hundreds of buggies over the last 6 years)

Thanks Mel2005. I was thinking the same thing about the Mothercare - i suppoese its silly but I can't help thinking the old thing about you get what you pay for and that's why I've got this little voice at the back of my head saying that there's good reason for the price difference. Just got to convince my financially very sensible other half of this too now!x
