Hi James
Another Perthite here. I had an 8" dob and had great fun with it. Mine was an Optex (made by Synta I think). Either way SW680 or GSO GS680 they will be great.
You do know that BTOW (Binocular Telescope Optical World) at Malaga and NVT at Myaree are both Perth based and deal with SkyWatcher dobs, so postage should be bog all. In fact what you save on the few hundred dollars postage from the Eastern States could get you a 10" dob instead.
Andrews quoted me the following postage rates a few months ago:
$180 10" dob
$200 12" dob
Bintel charge significantly more for their dobs that are BinTel badged GSO's.
