I am putting it down to (a) I'm an idiot and (b) I am married to an angel that indulges me way too much.
Thanks for your reply.

I sold off two dobs and ETX90 after spending a month looking through a TV102 that I bought for my uncle. On a gibraltar it set up in about 6 minutes and the views were very undob like. Crisp and clean. No cooldown, no heavy lifting, no collimation, no dark sky transport issues with a big scope.
I ended up with a 101 and love it.... used it heaps (although no much in the past six months as we have a baby in the house).
Expensive.... sure, but boy it's a beautiful scope. I've seen the 85, but never looked through it. Looks just as rugged at the 102 and 101.
PM me if you have hand-on questions.
Also, there was a guy in QLD trying to sell a TV102 about a year ago.
