Orion 120ED
I came across the Orion 120ED on the web last night, and after reading very favourable reviews, I though this scope might be the answer to my scope dilemma, if only the Australian price was reasonable. Knowing that the Skywatcher version is almost A$5,000, I wasn't entirely optimistic, but I was still shocked to see that Sirius Optics is selling the OTA for A$4,100.
What I don't understand is that the apparent 'exchange rate' for this scope appears to be very different than the rate for the 80ED and the 100ED. If the same kind of ratio were applied as these scopes, the 120ED should be slightly more than A$3,000.
I might try and ask Sirius to justify their price, but seems like we're getting ripped off again in this country.
