I've had some e-mails from the manager (Claude) and he sounds helpful - but I just wanted to check. I almost got burnt ordering a telescope from some scam-artists in Indonesia, so I'm wary of internet purchases!

Pretty unkind to refer to AEC as a "smaller" anything. They are the sole authorised distributor for Takahashi in Australia and New Zealand. Takahashi is probably one of the very best manufacturers of astro gear in the world and they wouldn't touch with a barge pole any distributor who was even remotely unreliable. The after sales support from both AEC and Takahashi are legendary - unlike many others who claim quality/support to their products right here in Australia.
