Re-“ASTROMASTER 127 ED TRIPLET REFRACTOR”

Looking for comments on the “Astromaster 127ED Triplet Refractor. Sounds...like an awesome scope to own, however is it just a scope with the right number of “cheap lenses” thrown together with even cheaper parts, to call it a Triplet and cash in on AU$3000.00?
I am a little wary as I can’t find any info on this scope other than a short add in Australian Sky & Telescope or the website that sells it. Can anyone shed some light as to the quality of this apparent 5inch Triplet??? Any other triplet of this size would cost thousands more, so forgive me if I think it looks and sounds like an very expensive gimmick.
Where are all the reviews on it? Any owners with one? Would a plain 120ED be the better option?
Is it worth $3000.00 AU (Australian)$ for the scope alone?
