Hmmmm, OK, AFTER removing the German 19% tax, T-E is cheaper (a bit in fact), but shipping is MORE...

Decisions, decisions...

Dave, haven't thought about the mounting options in great depth yet - might like to try a Losmandy tripod for it (sarcilege, I know!), or just do the entire AP thing Maybe even one of the new British made field tripods (name eludes me - always advertised in Astronomy Now and Sky at Night)
I would go for the A-P portable pier-most solid thing I've ever used!
In fact many years ago, a mate set up to manufacture copies of my one, which he marketed under the name "BDCC"-brick dunny construction company
