It's a legitimate question .
You don't have to participate , if its tedious to you .
Simon , the prices you see are in us$ , there is also as said , freight , gst , customs , internal post/couriers , and these all add up and in my humble opinion , buy from our local suppliers because , #1 you get good aftersales service and , #2 you are supporting them so they stay in buiseness and it would be a sad day if all Aussie astro suppliers shut up shop ,, sad , sad day indeed .
We had one close receintly here in Perth and it left a hole  .
Buy local Simon , its not that much dearer in the long run .

OK, fair enough, sorry. Your right BTW, ive done both, local purchase wins generally except for exceptions that are obvious with a little homework.
