The cheapest came in around $5699 for the OTA + $2499 for the CGEM mount. The $2900 difference (or $1900 if I factor in $1000 for an ultrawedge) pays for a LOT of accessories 
The LX200 is a well proven package. There isn't a lot of feedback out there for the CGEM EdgeHD combination yet. Given the price difference, I'm not sure I want to be an "early adopter".
No-one has been able to give me an ETA for the 11" CGEM EdgeHD, although the 8" model is available in Sydney. |
Yeah the lx200 does look like a better buy if your buying from Australia. have you thought about buying from the US through an agent?
The EdgeHD 1100 is $3499US and the lx200 10" is $3599US, plus the fee for the agent. It's probably better to buy locally however so you get warranty. I'm still comparing prices and deciding what I should do. It's a lot of money, and I want to make sure I make the right choice haha.
