astro744 - Thanks for such a detailed response; I had just emailed optcorp sales team to get the check on postage and handling of Stellarvue F50M to Australia.
Was just reading up on the Telrad reviews so I could understand how they work. I am still leaning towards the F50M solution as I can always pull it away down the track when I can afford to get a SCT
Will see how all this pans out in next few days.
Thanks again guys!
