Really glad to see some improvements being made on the good old SCT Design, which actually work to fix some long standing issues.

Kal, its a joke and I am sure it has more to do with there being only one distributor in this country than the retailers.

The Meade 12" ACF is listed at Bintel for $5399
The Edge 11" is $8995

Almost double for 1" less.

The diffrence is that with Meade, I dont belive there is a central distributor.

Consider the 8SE for $3299AUD, its $1199USD at OPT.
Consider the 8 EdgeHD for $3995AUD, its $1299USD at OPT.
Even with Shipping, and GST this makes no sense. Unles you count the 'monopolisation' of a sole distributor.

Now conisder the Meade.
Meade 8" ACF $2299AUD, its 1099USD at OPT.
Far better.
