Help in buying my first telescope

I'm new to astronomy and would like some help in purchasing my first telescope.
I'm very keen on the Meade [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']10" LX200R (f/10) ADVANCED RC (UHTC) or maybe the cheaper 10" LX90GPS, however I live in Perth WA and can't find a local telescope dealer where I can actually see any of these (or other good makes for that matter) before I commit myself to buy. I would love to see any of these telescopes before I order one just to make sure that it's the right telescope - I have this thing about seeing something first before buying it and as these scopes are expensive I would hate to make a costly mistake.[/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Can somebody please tell me if there is a dealer in Perth who sells Meade (or any other good make)? I have checked all over myself and can't find anyone who sells telescopes in Perth.[/FONT]
