From Andrews:

Both are $499 mark.
Not sure the difference in the built and quality?
Andrews offers free shipping.
Thanks

I wouldn't take into consideration the Moon filter (if it is a simple Moon filter, they aren't that useful), unless it is a pair of polarising filters, which can be varied, that is cross-polarised, to vary the polarising (darkening). The Bintel wide angle eyepiece may sound okay, but it just depends on the quality.
Personally, I would go with the Andrews, as shipping can be quite expensive. Consider the cost of shipping from Bintel, and then consider what a really good wide angle eyepiece is worth. You may find that it is better to go to Andrews, and then spend the cash you save on shipping, on a better eyepiece.
Something to consider.
