When I was flying to the USA on a regular basis I was tempted to pick up Takahashi gear from US vendors, however by the time you factored in and often lousy exchange rate, Californian sales tax and Customs charges, it was cheaper to buy from
Claude at AEC.
My only gripe is Takahashi have been VERY slow to deliver of late, with many 'scopes having waiting times of a year or so...I'd stress this is not AEC's fault. Many Astro manufacturers have blown out
their delivery times due the current OEM parts supply problems.
