Thanks for the comments, guys.
GRAHAM,
I am surprised also that it doesn't seem to drift off, but I only had a quick look last night before that cloud bank rolled in. The fact that the alt bearings on the standard GSO aren't super slippery, plus the springs, probably helps.
JONATHAN,
The 17 is certainly on the list, but I am unsure about the short end, about 8mm. I wish there was a T4 8 (with a 2" barrel of course). Don't want much do I? I might end up with a Radian or Pentax.
SCOTT,
Thanks for the congrats. They are certainly a lifetime purchase, need to be considering their cost. The relatively high Aussie $$ helps, although the lady at Bintel didn't soothe the wifey by saying "You could buy a fridge with these things"!!!
