The GSO and the Bintel dobs are basically the same with the Bintel being "rebadged" locally...
As has been noted in previous threads, Bintel will open the box and check it and collimate it before it gets sent to you. Of course, after the trip to you it will likely need to be re-collimated depending on how the delivery folks handle it.
I've done a lot of business with Bintel and have always been happy with their service. I have not purchased from Andrews but those that have seem to appreciate their efforts too.
When I made my purchase decision I got my first scope from Bintel...I appreciate their advice and service that they have provided to me (they gave me a quick "how to collimate lesson" in the shop when i bought mine)...
Good Luck!
