Makes the Celestron look overpriced for sure.
Compared to (US vendor) OPT's prices for that Orion 12" goto and other models that they and Bintel sell, it seems the Bintel price may well be correct. They must have ordered them before the Aussie dollar tanked.

It's a great deal. I suspect if Bintel was ordering more of these at today's exchange rate the price would be well over $2k.
