Question What to buy? - 8" dobs

Hi everyone,
I was just on the Australian part of astronomyforum.net asking for advice on a new 8" dob and realised no one was from oz. They were all very helpful but i thought i'd try finding someone with some knowledge on the Australian market and where to buy for best value etc.

So the best deals i could find for what i'm after was this:

http://www.ozscopes.com.au/ozscopes-...-eyepiece.html

= $399 + $140 Postage

or this:

http://www.andrewscom.com.au/site-section-10.htm

That website is horrible but if you scroll down it's the GS-680 8" dob for- $499 + $70 Postage

Now i don't really know a whole lot about all this stuff but i do know GSO's are quality scopes but if anyone could point me to a better deal or has any feedback or recommendations on what i should be getting, that would be great!

Should i be adding anymore eyepieces, filters etc to the package or anything like that? Or is the included gear enough for a beginner?

Cheers

Ryan
