Vixen RS 200 and Orion EON ED APO 110mm

Hey folks, some one I know has just bought his dream mirror set, so needs funds, so he offered me a dream scope. I have had a play with it and now am convinced it's a keeper, so some need to go to make room in the stable..
1. Vixen RS 200SS Newt f/4 with Moonlite focuser, Hi-Res Stepper motor, Moonlie focus controller with two motor controller capability, MPCC Mark III coma corrector. I have the original scope box as it is only about four months since I bought it from an Australian dealer. Have original focuser as well if needed. I love this scope and if I had more than one mount and obs I would keep it. But
Shop Price today - Scope $1,663 plus post
Moonlite gear all up about $800 U.S plus post
Coma corrector kit Bintel $399
All yours for $2000 plus postage.

2. Orion ED EON APO Doublet refractor 110mm SOLD
This little beauty is a sexy looking black stealth machine, and at f/6 it really chews photons. Has a heavy duty rotatable focuser and tube rings. This scope is real heaven but the scope I have been offered is his big brother, so aperture fever strikes!! Comes with spunky metal box.
I bought this serious stealth scope for $1800 a year ago, it's been in my obs then four months ago was under my bed (covered up) when I got the Vixen.
It's a rarity, they don't even sell these anymore.
Yours for a paltry $1400 plus post.
