Was in Bintel Sydney today and saw the mount in person. Looks very nice, in line with what you'd expect from Skywatcher if you're familiar with the standard EQ6 or HEQ5.

I asked the price and they said around $2300 or $2400. Hmm, I said, so maybe not an LX80-killer given the price difference. They said it IS an LX80-killer. Biggest problem may be getting one, but they are taking pre-orders.

It's also supposed to be a bit lighter than the EQ6 from what I've read.

I should have asked for more info but I was actually in the store to check out the new Delos range (came out with the new 14mm )
