I appreciate the feedback very much, and I have been researching prices on line and making a number of phone calls ..... have pretty much narrowed it down to the GS-680 Deluxe (Crawford) or the Skywatcher (with Crawford mod) but the price comparison is $449 GSO against $595 Skywatcher ..... I am asking myself is the SW 33% better than the GSO for the price margin.
I DID also get a very tempting offer from Bintel, as they are out of 8" Dobs at present I was offered the 10" Premium model for a VERY keen price .... stretches the budget VERY badly (maybe too much actually) but VERY tempting!!! Will make my decision tonight... stay tuned!
