I faced exactly the same problem when I purchased my 8" last month. Bintel were great providing all the info, and because I work in the city, really wanted to buy from them, however the 30% greater price they were asking made it very hard to justify. I gave Bintel the opportunity to come down in price (not expecting them to match Andrews - afterall they do have greater overheads with city rent etc), but they weren't prepared to move an inch on their price....so Andrew's it was. Note also Andrews threw in a pair of binoculars and a few extra eyepieces.
Having said that, I really wanted to give Bintel the business, and I'll try make my next purchase there (as long as price is competitive!).
Regards, Mike
