Frosty - sorry to throw another spanner at you - but have you checked the freight cost from syd - melb. Because bintel has their 10" on sale for 599 at the moment with the 10:1 others have suggested but you are unsure about - in fact I suggest you go in and talk to roger about it. You can look at the scopes there and then decide. (they are in burke rd camberwell)
One other point - I suggest it does not matter how many cheap ep's you get in the deal, sooner or later (sooner if you look thru someone else's) you will want to upgrade ocular's(ep) anyway
have fun - deciding
