You will also find that the Ventura annex will fit (this one, I think, but check with Waudbys or similar) since they are made under licence by Isabella.

Sorry, should have written under licence to Isabella.
Don't qoute me on this but I think you'll find Ventura are are the Isabella company we are wating for our ventura, & OH has just rang the camping shop who have in turn just rung Isabella for a progress report on delivery, they have just cut into the cheaper end of the market, as they found they were missing a slice of it they have had them made in Poland! & the annexes do fit the Isabella
Our awning dealer confirmed that Ventura were owned by Isabella and used all the same construction methods and materials - just using cheaper labour in Eastern Europe (Poland). The Ventura's don't have quite the finishing touches that the Isabellas have, but are considerably less money.
However, our dealer did also advise me that the Ventura annex would not fit our Isabella Ambassador Crown - which I now think was possibly not true!
Anyway, I got my tall Isabella annex second hand from the dealer - they take them in with part-exchange vans, check them over and re-sell them according to their condition. They don't advertise this, as obviously they want to sell new ones primarily. But all I did was ask and they gave me a call when one of the right model/colour came in. It was almost brand new and I paid less than half of the price of a new one.

Never thought of asking about SA/hand annexes when we ordered our Ventura, too late now we get it tomorrow still at least it's all brand new, you are right about Isabella that's what our supplier told us as I said above, but they don't make it widely known, we were all set to have the Magnum but realised we could have the annexe + carbon poles etc for less than the Magum on its own so all in all we're very happy
