I notice there has been a substantial increase in the price of Sky-Watcher's Esprit OTA's recently. I seem to recall that Esprit 150 was $6999 for a long time but S-W's latest catalogue shows a list price of $9499.99

One has to ask, is this inflation or just a sign of the world situation at the moment?
