I know David Reneke's name and I've no doubt he is reputable, but why buy from overseas and pay all that freight? You can get the same for cheaper in Sydney from Bintel, Astro-Optical Supplies or Andrews. If you don't like any of them, there are more dealers interstate.

If you're interested in an 8" consider whether you should get a 10". They are the same length but fatter (and heavier) and the mount is bigger but gather 1.5x the light of an 8". IMHO if you can carry it then stretch the budget to afford it.
