I bought my 10" from Andrews for 599 with 4 EP's + Binos + Moonfilter + 4 Filters + 2 more EP's. I am very happy with it. The only issue is with the Instructions for building the base, they are non existant you have to guess from some full diagrams what to do. Also soon after i bought mine, the delux edition had some changes I wish i had waited. With the Delux model you get Craford Focuser and a right angle finderscope and a cooling fan.

Andrew is a great guy to deal with but even he admits his knowledge of Astronomy is not high. I would also reccomend from feedback you take a look at Bintel, though there prices are abit higher the offer one good thing. Bintel full dismantle and reassumble the OTA and make sure its colimated and do a star test on it. There is a price diffrence for this and am not sure if its worth it or not. My Dob did come with pretty good colimation, i have not had to do one. Though i have borrwed a simulated Star from a mate to test it out properly.

One suggestion goto the news agency and check the latest austrlina astronomy mags to see the specials from all of em. You will note with Andrews and Bintel they are alwasy offering some kind of special with extra EP's etc to move there stock.
