Andrews has it with mount for 499, and I asked him some time back how much just for the OTA and he advised 399. The mount is a SV1, something similar i would say to a Eq3. There is also one for sale in the classifieds section.
I would have thought a HEQ5 could manage F4 scope.
You could also over time save a bit of money and buy some premium 8" F4 optics. Then perhaps upgrade your mount to a G8 or G-11 or better. The key here is that you invest in the mount rather than spend more on the scope. From what I have read the mount is the key for AP.
