I bought my way too expensive gear at the beginning of 2014 with some of my super. I am still learning to use it (got the scope and mount sussed - now for the ccd / guide camera). The good news is that I bought it all when there was parity between the US and Aus dollars. I could probably sell it now and make a profit but I won't. I enjoy the learning, the company and it slows my brain fossilization.
