I don’t think you got jibbed. Looking at my receipt, I bought the GS680-SDX (“super deluxe”, I suppose that means). It had a few extras like the GSO 30mm eyepiece and a better finder, and it’s possible that the dual-speed focuser was among those enhancements.
The “super deluxe” is the only model that remains these days, by the look of it. It cost me $499 back then, BTW.
