In the US there are places selling them for US$1799 apparently, not that you will get a price like that here.

Im sure the EON's are great scopes, but the Stellarview 90mm fluorite triplet is a MUCH better option for imaging, and if its in the price range, Do it! aperture isnt the ruler of DSO imaging at these focal lengths...
As has been mentioned, the 90mm fluorite for DSO imaging, sell the ed80, 12" newt for planetary views, and hey, if you've got a few more $$ to throw around, wacking that 12" on an EQ6pro would make it the ultimate planetary viewer!
