The point is David is saying is to weigh up the options. I am sure that many people are very experienced at what they do. My Experience is Electronics, others Astronomy and so on. Weighing up the options I would not feel confident to purchace something relating to Astronomy yet from overseas unless I was confident that there would be no problems later (ie: warranty). As far as electronics I can get stuff from anywhere and it doesn't matter.
I am sure Chevy parts (expensive) can be sourced cheaper in the US although it take possibly 1 crack in (eg: disc plate or whatever) show up 3 month later then there goes your cost savings. That is what warranties are for. But for most people with experience in a topic that will be no problems at all.
We also need to consider the population of Australia as well compared to US we are quite small so the market will be small consequently prices are usually higher. I am sure there are people overseas buying stuff from here as well.
