Do I ask for market value? that could find me unable to replace them to the same condition, do I ask for new replacement? what are you doing for insurance?

I have Suncorp Contents Insurance and have New for Old insurance cover. I have also opted for the travel insurance so that my gear is covered in the event I can actually make it to Qld AstroFest. I had to list all of my astro gear for insurance purposes (cameras, scopes, adaptors, mount etc). I think I pay around 600 ayear for $140,000 cover. Cost may vary as I have had Suncorp Insurance for 20 odd years.
