"Semi-Apo"

Any reason why I shouldn't get it?

G'Day,
IMHO I think you would be better off buying a ED80 in OZ,when you factor in the exchange rate and also If anything goes wrong you'll have to send it back to the states plus add on the postage both ways. Bintel has one for $599 https://secure.attl.com.au/bintelshop/Stock/7290X.jpg as does Myastroshop $569 https://secure.attl.com.au/bintelshop/Stock/7290X.jpg, plus you get a finder scope.
