Thanks for all the responses guys. Well I decided to go for the 6" mainly because I knew I wouldn't be able to get a better deal in NZ. I paid $330 NZD (about $250 AUD) - it is only 3 months old and I would have been paying $700 NZD (about $535 AUD) + postage to get it new or about $900 to get an 8" so I'm pretty happy with the deal and I'm sure I will get good resale on it if I decide I want to go bigger later.

John you mentioned getting a good barlow lens. The scope comes with a super 10mm and super 25mm plus a 2" adaptor. What barlow lens would be good for this scope? - how can I tell it is a good one or will suit the eyepieces?

Cheers again everyone for the advice.
