Yes, this
can be a problem. Not always, but can. A lot of people in ASWA tend to buy their big stuff from the east, anyway. Although they are on the other side of the country you can get technical backup from some regardless of the distance. But this is one of the downsides of living in Perth, we are at the end of the supply line. You just have to learn to live with it.
Popeye's suggest of going to Astrocamp is a good idea or just attending any astro gathering. That will also give you some time to talk to others about their scopes and what they do and don't like about them and why they bought what this did. However, there will always be those who are loyal to a brand even if they have major faults. They may have decided to overlook the faults, but others wont.
