Hi Geoff,
I feel like I'm in the same predicament as you are in. Although I don't have a scope as yet. My plan is to get a dob, namely a truss type. The 12" lightbridge is still on my agenda, but that said if I have the opportunity to get an Obsession, T/scope deluxe or SDM in the 15-16" range that would be my preference. I don't mind paying for quality.
The damn thing is as you know is the shipping cost, not to mention the GST/taxes makes the whole exercise prohibitive. I don't mind paying for the scope itself but when you add those other charges it takes the whole 'bang for your bucks/dream' away.
If only SDM would come to the party and consider a 15" I'm sure there would be a niche market for them!!!
