The list price for the WO FLT152 is supposedly US$8500, with one of the preproduction models having been sold for US$7500 recently. At US$8500 the price in Australia once you add shipping and GST will be likely to be about A$10,000. There's a thread at CN by the person who bought the $7500 scope, he seems very pleased with the performance but notes its a heavy scope that will need a substantial mount.
Much as I like WO scopes (I have an FLT132 that has great optics) if I were going to spend that sort of money I would find it hard to go past the Tak TOA150 or the TEC 160ED. The WO 152 does have an LZOS lens but Tak has the established track record with big APOs that WO does not yet have.
There is also supposed to be a WO FLT158 f/7 in the works.
