As far as I can tell there is only $100 price differnce between the only comparable models ( Super Deluxe 10" ) between the shops and Bintel are doing a great job offering a checked and collimated scope for just $100 more.

Maybe ok if your picking it up from the shop. But once freighted
what's the point, more than likely you will probably have to do it
again. I learnt how to collimate by internet how to's, yahoo
groups...etc...etc... it really isn't that hard, it just might take
a little practice... more for some.

You could say the same about mobile phones... and many other
products. I think it is ok to finger point in this, for some people
$100 is a lot of money or the difference in blowing their budget.
You very well may of paid a lot more $20 years ago. But your
comparing the world today with a world 20 years ago and we're
talking about a scope from the same manufacturer.
