Probably. If you shop around, most 12" dobs are selling well over $1,000 now.
Mirror cooling fan - a cheap 12V computer fan, a bit of wiring, a 8xAA battery pack and you are done - for not many bucks. There should be a spot to mount the fan already
10:1 Crayford - nice to have but not essential. Are they offering a normal Crayford? Put the call out in the classifieds. The 10:1 come up for sale from time to time and people upgrade their focusers. $70, maybe $80 and you'll have one you can swap over - then sell the original for $40-50.

Do you think it's still worth it?
