I'll own up, I bought a CGEM + EdgeHD 800 from Andrews a few weeks ago. Looking forward to some HyperStar imaging when I get my SX camera and HyperStar lens
I investigated the cost of importing from the US (using a third party service) but at US$2399 + Third-party fee + Exchange Rate (~.90 at the time, now worse) + Import Duty + Shipping (for three large boxes) + No Warranty + Risk to OTA during shipping the savings didn't seem worth it.
I've imported plenty of accessories this way, just wasn't willing to take the chance on the scope itself.
How is it? Isn't hasn't stop raining in Newcastle since I purchased it
