Looking at the Astromart pricing for the Intes Micro MN66 ($1550 Aud equivalent),and adding shipping, etc you'd be paying about the same for a used MN66, a significantly smaller Mak-Newt, as for a new MN190 (which you can find for $1799 locally). I did look at them, and all of the potential distributors before I bought my Skywatcher. I can't find much difference in construction, both are heavily baffled. Bigger is better if you can afford it, and the Skywatch quality is good I can't fault it. Which ever one you get a good Mak-Newts a great design. What mount would you be using? The Skywatcher is best on a NEQ6 for imaging but you could get away with a HEQ5 for visual only imho.
