My only concern about the Skywatcher scopes is that they are significantly more than Bintel/Andrews, yet don't come with the Crayford 2" focuser and mirror fan as standard.

The 10" SWs do come with a pyrex mirror though, which would add considerably to the cost. I know most people say that does not matter, but I am looking forward to better thermal stability from the pyrex glass for high power planetary viewing. With the 12" plate glass mirror I'd often miss the good seeing while waiting for the scope to cool. And the newer Saxon/SW dobs probably come with Crayfords anyway. I will let you know when I get mine.
