Yes I had considered the exchange rates but the meade has been around $3k for some time, even when the aussie was hovering in the mid 80 cent range, i can't believe that even if we one day went 1 to 1 versus the greenback we would still probably be paying a grand more than the
states.

Yes mikeyB that's my point; this $29 difference only happened days ago. Not sure whether the LX90 has plastic gears or not, but $600 i'm not sure it's justified.
I wonder if meade scopes will come down soon...
