They are supposed to be the same, though there is certainly some variation in quality control. Since you're in Sydney, I suggest you check whichever unit you plan to buy at the shop before payment - that way you can at least eliminate obvious things like sloppy/bent/rough/squealing focuser, sprinkling of metal paticles on the lens, etc. The chinese gear is good value but a bit of quick QC at the shop is a good idea if you have the opportunity.
