Considering the extras you get with it:
Super Deluxe version includes a right-angle correct image 8 x 50 finderscope, 2" Crayford style microfocuser with 10:1 fine focusing and a 2" to 1.25" adaptor, fan, GSO 6mm, 9mm, 15mm and 25mm 1.25" Plossl eyepieces - and a bonus SP32mm 2" eyepiece, too!
I am just trying not to belt myself over the head repeatedly with a piece of 2X4 for not getting this one in the first place rather than my GEM newt (only 5" too!)
It has the essential fan, 10:1, 2 inch focuser and a bucket load of EP's. Sooner or later you will want to get a nice ED eyepiece to really spice things up (only about $60 or so) and then you will be having to wear a bib to stop the drool from dropping on the primary from having your mouth gape open at the EP.
Go on, you know you want to. Hell, now I want too as well. I'll race ya!

Strrrruthh Screwie - those lederhosen will sure come in handy, but you'll still need a bib too: and all I've got to offer you is my older welding apron!
There's so much drool coming off your post me flamin screen is hard to read; our elderly labrador couldn't keep up with you at the moment, not even as he's waiting for his tea: surely you're not telling us that if the supplier offers you a replacement scope, or the money back, your going to forsake another of those little barlowed beauties and find the extra cash difference for a 10" or 12" dob?
Cheers, Darryl.
