I know what you are saying Carl but still think the purchase is still quite a bargain with respect to purchasing a similar sized RC. The biggest downside of doing it this way is that the dedicated gear that comes with the likes of the Deep Sky Instruments RC10 all fits and works and this way it is up to me to get it all together.
The cost of the DSI RC10C is something like $7000US + delivery and so far I have spent $5340 AU in total so there is a significant saving overall, It's just now up to me to make it all work and at this stage it is a somewhat unknown. A risk I am prepared to take.
