Hi Aaron
Welcome to the forums.
As far as the telescopes are concerned, the Saxon brand is just re-branded Skywatcher and Bintels' is re-branded Guang Shen Optical. Both are good quality telescopes from respected manufacturers, with very nice optics and will give a lifetime of viewing experiences. Can't really say that one is better than the other as there probably isn't a lot of difference in their performance anyway so you can't go wrong with either of them.
Every store wants to make a sale so there is always a degree of sales pitch from whatever store you talk to but Bintel are knowledgeable and helpful as are most, if not all the astro retailers in Oz. Guess it comes down to price ( similar ) and buying convenience.
