Brian,
yes I was thinking of getting this too. But I decided against it mainly because I haven't anywhere to put it. I already have a couple of model ships which take up half a wall each. And then the Orrery, which looks terrific and actually works, but that needs a fair old space to display properly too. There were a couple of issues with the build quality of the orrery which were overcome either through replacement parts being offered (as in the earth/moon gear), or not important enough to cause a real problem (as in the sag with one or two of the distant planets).
The tellurion looks terrific I agree, - though I did wonder what there might be in the way of interesting articles to fill 52 weeks worth of mags with. It's my guess they'll not be as generally interesting and relevant as the Orrery mags were.
Good luck with the tellurion though Brian - a pic from time to time would be good too
