The shipping ended up being $335 (note, I haven't done it - just enquired) and yeah I think I missed the 5% import duty (I don't seem to get hit by this with a lot of my camera lens purchases) so yeah the savings is dropping, I think you'd now save $500-$600 odd and thats getting about the mark where you'd have to say might as well buy it locally.
Anyway I'm obsessed by refractors at the moment so am leaving the sct to a bit later.
Good luck with your scope Rod, they look awesome.
