Would you say that this is a good deal then?

Looks fine. I paid about 29€ for CR-123 in a local supermaket. It's about 1€ more than the ebay price you referred to. Minus delivery of course :)

These are just expensive. I've got Cr-115 and it works great + it's not dedicated so you can hold almost any device with it. Almost, because wider phones don't fit. SGS3 doesn't for example.

Well I just bought the Nokia CR-115 and Nokia DC6 car charger both for £8

http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Car-Windscree...-/180998688685 Made to match N9 size 100%, and is under 6e. I prefer these who match exactly the size, since generic ones usually block the visibility somewhat. And of course has N9 camera holes in place.

Please be aware that each mount consists of two parts: the ProClip base and the mobile-specific active (with charging) or passive (without) cradle. ProClips are car-specific and available for more than one (non-destructive, so no screws) mount-point.

Besides that, you can re-use the ProClip base if you change your mobile - just swap the cradle.

I thought these guys were an Aussie company...

Turns out they may only be distributors/resellers for Brodit & re-branded as ClicOn.

Brodit & ClicOn are way down my list, they're just too pricey.
In Australia anyway, stuff is often way more pricey here than the EU or US.

A vote for the cr-122 from here, too. Very good holder. The suction cup mounting isn't ever very good so I ordered the ProClip for my car from brodit and bolted the holder to that. This way it's in perfect reach.
Cr-123 is very good also but I couldn't do this with it.

If you can do that with the CR-122 why not the CR-123?

I don't suppose you could point to a fresh link?

The CR-123 doesn't have any surface covering the NFC reader part of the N9. This makes it impossible to have the tag in constant proximity of the reader, which is required for automatic "ending" of the rule once the phone is taken out the cradle.

Very well, I'd imagine.

Build quality probably won't be as good as the Brodit, but it's so cheap I can always buy another if it fails (which I doubt), plus being so n9-centric is no longer an issue thanks to it's cheapness.
