Any advice much appreciated....thanks.
Yes I would recommand Andrews in Greystane. Very friendly people there. Ask for Luke. I buy from them many times in the last year or so.
$399 for a 8" GSO Dob with 2"Crayford focuser and plus. Check this out:

I owned a 8" Dob for 10 years only upgraded to a 12" recently. Never regret.
Cheers
