That, sir, is a huge refractor

Good to hear the purchase has gone well for you!
I suspect you will see domestic vendors prices fall once stock purchased at the higher exchange rate is sold off. When I purchased my FLT-98 from MyAstroShop, it was within $50 of WO's price (including exchange/shipping).
Out of curiosity, what mount is this going on? Are you going to SBS mount it with your Tak?
