I would personally never buy a complex piece of equipment such as a goTo scope from the US

I have the following pieces of astro equipment (amongst other stuff)
ETX 70
AS CG5 Go To Mount
PST
Orion DeepSpace Imager
a 11x 60 binos
an atik 1 c imager
every one of these has had a problem and I have had to go back to the retailer for a fix under warranty

in my experience, the downside risk is far too high to buy complex systems from overseas

an eyepiece or a filter..sure go for it... but not a complex system with heaps of electronics

how much do you value your peace of mind?
