Hopfully the price will come down a little more as the exchange rate comes back up.
A seasoned local astronomer said to me not long ago.

"if your buying a telescope just for observing, then money spent on anything other than aperture is a waste"

good advice, i like the Synta stuff, i miss my 12" dob, but i cant justify buying a 14", when its MORE than the 16"
