I have a rubbish website too.

But ATS are actually WO's oldest Australian dealer (I met Bill in Taipei in the 1990's).

Good luck with warranties from foreign E-bay sellers, as likely you will be paying $$ to return defective items... WO QC is not bad, but we have had to send the occasional 'scope back that was not up to par. Australian consumer laws must be observed by local dealers, but mainly it's the GST which is the reason for small premium in local pricing.

Out of the current crop of WO optics, I have to say their RedCat/SpaceCat 51's are very impressive. You'd pay 3x as much for comparable Canon or Nikon glass. I bought one for myself! But it is still to see first light due the cloud + smoke around Sydney of late.....
