I paid a very good price for my C11 brand new in september last year, however after the aussie dollar fell, the prices sky-rocketed! The jump was nearly $2300 when the dollar fell from 97c US to the dollar down to low 70c to the dollar mark.. That was fairly unbelievable... But for Celestron to think that people are going to pay between ~$16000 (andrews) and $~19000 (Bintel) for a 14" SCT, then I think they are horribly mistaken, and will learn this in the not to distant future... Think about it... A Celestron 14" "flat field" SCT, for roughly the same price as a Planewave 12.5" CDK? I hardly think so...
Their products are good. I wont argue against the products. Its the pricing... A CGE Pro mount sound nice to begin with, but when you find out what it will cost in australia, I would much rather pay the marginally higher price for the Astro Physics AP900GTO...
