Nuri, if something went wrong with your Mount that you brought back from the US. Are you prepared to buy another return ticket to the US to take it back for warranty repair? If not then I rest my case. Most warranty is back to base, or the dealer you purchased it from and they send it back at their cost.
Seriously, I wander what benefit this topic has in advancing amature astronomy in australia. This topic comes up every few months and I fear the only thing it acheives is alienating distributors and dealers from this forum.
So what, someone finds a price too high and can buy it cheaper in the US, then go and buy it in the US. I don't believe it's an excuss to rubbish the local guys.
Everyone here knows how to surf the net and is more then capable in finding out for themselfs who has cheap prices and who doesn't. I think this forum would be much better if this type of discussion didn't crop up all the time. You don't see it on Cloudy nights!
