valid.

Hi Glend how are you, all valid and pertinent points, sry to hijack your initial thread, I think the discussion although only regarding Celestrons new approach and commitment to the Australian market thru John Cross's new appointment does encompass all players inc consumers, did start to stray a bit as I noted. Im glad of and benefit from the diversity and cheaper good quality brands available in the market I would love an Edge HD and a Paramount or Losmandy mount, do I need or want it yet prob not so Im glad that we have the ability to own and learn from base level thru in a reasonable cost framework with the suppliers choice of stock and yes Celestron does provide extremely well with this, its just good market strategy which hasn't been lost on other chinese distributors. And yes some suppliers will cater for 'out of the box' items special ordered, which is great whilst keeping their baseline customers covered, theres not a lot of meat on the bones for these guys. I think comments just sought to point out how Celestrons share and commitment in the AUS market could be better overall surely thats a positive. I don't see where "aspersions" were cast on Celestrons choice of supplier ( please correct me if Im wrong) only its AUD cost and service regime thru these retailers. I have 2 Celestron OTAs and Ill def own more so Im a big fan, regards Brenton...
