HOughy, you are certainly right about the scope being a drought-breaker.
Mike, find below the mirror specs below. ALMOST up to the specs of your scope, which isn't bad for a 20" mirror! In relation to what it cost, I ordered 7 months ago when prices were a bit cheaper, but bottom line, I got the unit as seen for $10,130 plus the Argo Navis, which I got off Wildcard Innovations directly. I'll take some snaps of the thermometer attachments on the weekend, and post them for you. I'm sure Peter Read would be happy to tell you how it works, or you can have a peek in my scope if you are coming to SPSP.
Geoff, I'll also take some shots from you re the heated secondary, and post at a later date.

Yes the specs for my mirror are pretty good but yours look more than adequate.
That's quite a cost effective price for a 20" scope of this apparent quality. The wait time of 7 months was quite acceptable too.
Did Peter fit the temp guage and sensors too?
Did you fit the Argo Navis encoders yourself or did Peter fit those too?
I look forward to seeing it and Peter Bobroffs new 16" too at SPSP.
Did ya like any of my name suggestions?
Mike
