GSO 10" Dob Deluxe or Super Deluxe

This is my first post and I am a complete novice in astonomy.
I like to get a 10" GSO Dob from andrewscom. This is after reading various posts.
They have 2 models, deluxe and super deluxe (arriving soon).

Should I get the deluxe or super deluxe?
My understanding is that the eyepieces that come with the super deluxe are of standard/mediocre quality but not great? With the difference in price ($130) will I be better off getting a good quality eyepiece?
I don't know what adjustable super deluxe tension is and if the deluxe model also has something similar?
I live in Perth and the shipping cost for a 10" is between $80-$100.

I also can get skywatcher in Perth for simlar price because I don't have to pay the shipping cost.

But it seems to me that more people like the GSO better.
To be honest I have no idea if I will get into the hobby seriously but I like to start on the right path.

Your advise will be appreactiated. Thanks.
