I bought a pair of these from Kendall a year or so ago, and can vouch for the quality of the item and of the viewing they provide. I believe they are from the same place as the ones
www.bigbinoculars.com sell (right there on the home page). As you can see they are currently US$1995 on sale.
The only thing I didn't/don't like about them is the tripod. The tripod itself is first class qualitywise for land viewing, but not much cop for elevated viewing. So I bought a Manfrotto 3258 from the above site. This tripod will easily handle the weight - and more besides. But it wasn't cheap at about US$550 plus freight. I also bought the dolly which you'll see advertised.
www.andrewscom.com.au also sell a pair very similar, advertised as POA. I recall they were reasonably priced when they used to show the price, but at that time the pair from Kendall were still cheaper. Kendall normally sells wooden floor coverings I think, but obviously has a finger in the astro pie, so to speak, as well !
Get a pair - you won't regret it. Plus you get to choose your own magnification with these too - how cool is that. He uses them with a pair of TV Panoptics to get stunning views. All I have is some TV plossls which are less good (obviously), but still good.
Hope this helps
