As much as I'd wish this to be true, it ain't. Just because I can afford a $40k car doesn't mean I can afford an $80k one.

All of this for $10k? You must have gotten a very good deal. According to Peter's price list that sum doesn't include the cost of the primary mirror.

Let's not lose our perspective. There are Porsche people, and there are Audi people, and there are Toyota people. And they all get what they need. So let's not sneer at people who don't have unlimited funds to sink into, what is after all, a hobby. Or the companies that cater to them.

Cheers
