Hi Rob,
My first scope was from Australian Geographic at Marion shopping centre, but my second scope was from Adelaide Optical. It is a small shop on Grenfell street and they have a good range on display and a fair bit of stock available for pickup.
Apart from Adelaide Optical and the Shell Lap supplies, Adelaide doesn't really have many options for serious scopes. I had opportunity to check Bintel in Melbourne, which has much more available for display, but since I wanted to ensure I had good warranty, I decided to buy from Adelaide Optics, since it is too hard to return a scope to Melbourne. Adelaide optics was more expensive than Bintel, but I figure it was worth the extra to have local support if needed.
Main thing is to take your time - it took me about 12 months before I decided which scope to upgrade to - so many options and so many things to consider.
Good Luck
Robin
