I am not sure that the maths quite add up there. For the 14" LX200R OTA alone, you are looking at $6849 (Bintel's current price). Add an EQ mount to carry that sort of weight, plus freight costs, and you'd have to be pushing $10K. That's what I am getting my 20" truss dob for with OMI Torus mirror from SDM, delivered to my door (interstate).
