Repeating myself... Don't get the series 500's (4 for $99). They are better than junk but not very good. Best EPs from Andrews are the GSO Ploessls. They are nice sharp, with good contrast. Superviews, or other wide angles will not perform well in the short focal length scope. Edge of field will be blurry with sharp area no more than a good Plossl.

$1249.00 AUD is showing as $1099.
with the lenses, what would be the preference as the must have 2, and if all are GSO, then what 4 would be the best to have.
Yes that's the one with crayford + fan. I doubt you'll get four GSO Plossls. You'll either get two GSOs and two 500s, or four 500s. Ask Lee what your options are. For me the 9 & 25mm GSOs were included with the scope and I could choose two 500s. I recommend the 15 & 20mm in the 500s.
