Hi Mal,
Yes, Andrewscom changed their info on the 8" GSO yesterday.
Now it will be Oct/Nov and the price has gone up from $429 to $499.
It makes Bintel price more attractive ($429).
I actually posted similar question on the day as you so I running 2 threads

Do you know what comes with the 8" Skywatcher? 10:1 focuser, right angle finder etc? When I called BTOW they said the 8" is over $500.
