8" dob
James,
About a year ago I bought a 8" GSO dob from Andrews Communications (google) in NSW. I only paid $300 for it but another $90 for a courier to WA. However I love it. And for the price its even better. Compared to the others in ASWA I believe I did well. Instead of moving on teflon it has bearings, a 90 deg finderscope, knobs for collimating the primary mirror instead of needing a n Allen key or screwdriver, (bought Bob's Knobs for the secondary) and a 'vernier' knob on the focuser.
I suppose the price might have gone up since I bought mine but its worth a look.
Good hunting!
Popeye
