I think you're on the right track then Brett. The Sky Rover 115mm triplet is the same scope as my TS115 and also the same as the Meade Series 6000 115. The Meade offers better value than the Sky Rover with extra included accessories for the same price and might have easier warranty support. There are two Melbourne Meade dealers who would supply the scope (Ozscopes and Optics Central) but it's not listed on their websites. Here it is at Astro Anarchy (1/2 way down page): http://www.astroanarchy.com.au/opticalTubes.html
…. includes the reducer, finder, case and diagonal as well as the scope/rings/dovetail.
If you price it at the other shops specify that the reducer is included in the $3500 price (since it's listed as a bonus item).

United Optics in China makes these refractors and sells them to a host of re-branders.

Here are some images I've taken through my TS115:

The 115 gives a little more reach for visual in addition to being a good imaging scope.
