As Ray says the Mesu200 is about twice as much as the EQ8 (and you get a tripod/pier with the EQ8). The landed cost for me for the Mesu200 was $AU9150 inc GST (no customs duty) and freight to the door (via TNT).
The advantage of the EQ8 is the large user base here in Aust, so a lot of forum help is available. I will be the guinea pig for the Mesu200 in Australia.
