I might as well let the cat out of the bag. With my 12" GSO Dob about to be sold, I ordered the Saxon 10" Dob from the Telescope Shed. Afaik this is the same as the Skywatcher that Dave has got.
I was thinking of going for a 10" Lightbridge, but the Pyrex primary mirror (made in the US) clinched the deal in favour of the Saxon (not to mention $300 saved). I also like the mount design and finish of the Saxon/SW. According to Saxon's website their dobs now also come with Crayford focusers. The website often contains the wrong info so I'll wait and see.
