Interestingly this is called "Newtons law of cooling" however it would apply to heating if the ambient temp is higher, so the heat up time would be the same as cool down time for the same temperature difference I think.

Would the business volume justify a shop in Darwin? , enough of a struggle in Sydney.
All the thermal co-efficients are the same, so the time to effect a change in temperature (for the same temperature differential) should remain the same. Fortunately, as the scope is kept at a constant 23'c, it's not a big difference to outside ambient temperatures, depending on season.

I doubt a scope shop in Darwin would have a large customer base. For me, I've had no problem getting things from down south, I just have to be prepared for the delivery wait. That said, I've had some remarkable delivery times out of Sydney for air freightable items.

Cheers,

Graeme
