yes,thats the cheapest price i've seen,Andrews comm(usually cheapest in Oz) will have them for 999 as per their site. I have the xlt150 OTA, not the mount. The performance is good - without being great - not quite as good views asi got with my 5" intes mak - but then again its f/l was longer so perfromed better on some objects. the mount they sell with it is the cg4, which is ok but is really a flashy eq3 -
what do you want the scope for?
I bought mine for some visual use& some photo use (it has a clever focuser whereby the epholder screws off to reveal a t thread to screw your camera on
If you want it for dual purpose like me it's good, for visual only i would get a dobsonian mounted newt,
For the money i think an eq5 mount would be moresensible - someone had a 8" in the classifieds hereon eq5 -
Overall i would say it's slightly overpriced at 900-1000
