I guess you could have misunderstood my previous post. To say you get bugger all service from Andrews is very unfair. Lee did respond to every email I sent and tried to answer all my questions, but sometimes he just does not know the answer.

The Saxon dobs are quite a bit more expensive than the GS ones, because they have pyrex mirrors (at least the bigger ones do), which you don't need unless you're a Kiwi, or very impatient. The 8-inch are also shorter focal length (f5), so more hassle with collimation & coma.
