Buying expensive lens from Grey market

I’m considering buying the Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 TC from Cotswold Camera for €11,000 (~$12,760).

I know it’s grey market and that it doesn't come with the original warranty. I’ve already bought several items from Panamoz and i'm happy with the service. Unfortunately, Cotswold is currently my only available and affordable option. I can’t find a used one anywhere, and even if I did, it would likely cost more than €12,000 (~$13,920).

After reading various reviews, the site seems very reliable, but I’d still love to hear some opinions from you. Do you think it’s a good idea to trust a purchase this large to a grey market retailer?

Thank you in advance!
