It would be nice if all, or even most, experiences with Pakistani harps were like yours, Michael, but the reason for the attitude you’re hearing toward them here is that many, if not most, are not.
A bit of advice my teacher gives me (in addition to the admonition to “practice it SLOWLY Audrey!”) is to play the part that gives you difficulty at least five times for every one time you play the easier parts.

Here’s a link to the Ravenna 26 video from Morley:

I can tell you that I’ve had my Ravenna for just about 2 years now, and have never once regretted the purchase.

I don’t know much about the company, but some of the harps on that page (specifically the “knee harps” and the “Mitre” harps) look very like the Pakistani harps that you’ll hear all kinds of warnings about (for very good reason, I’m afraid).
Thanks, Bonnie, I’ll give that site a look.
Patricia, I’m only taking one very small suitcase (basically just a glorified backpack) to Ireland, and part of it is going to be taken up with a sheet set, as I’m staying in self-catering places and hostels, so I don’t really have room for anything extra.
Sounds to me like you’re still a harpist, since it seems that pedal/classical is your ultimate goal.
If I remember correctly, I got it from Sylvia Woods: http://www.harpcenter.com
