Might have to see if you can retrofit a decent fan to the housing.

Or pay the extra $800 and get a QHY8.
i guess you know exactly what i think...
if you wait a while the prices will be dropping soon anyway

I've been reading plenty of reviews and posts on the EON120 and they all seem very happy with the views. There are quality control issues with the focusers, but that can usually be sorted. As I've read in several posts, I don't think you could go wrong with one. The prices on these will start dropping I believe. In the US there are places selling them for US$1799 apparently, not that you will get a price like that here.
i read this too but the review i read said there was nothing mechanically wrong with it but a grub screw too tight/loose or something. you'd still think the quality control of their 'flagship' refractors would pick up something as simple as turning the focuser knob
