Last I heard they were retailing for $50US, so at $69AU we are getting a great deal, and shipping is obviously cheaper and faster.
I don't see any reason to buy them from Owl.
I have asked around on a few forums.
From all reports these are well made, and perform better than Meade SWA's . As one person put it, comparing against what was previously available, you would still be satisfied if they cost 3x the price.
What GSO really should do is make a 24-26mm 1.25" model to go head to head with the 24mm teleview panoptic, to give the maximum possible fov in a 1.25' format.
