I gather you are in Melbourne. Bintel in Burke Rd Camberwell (a couple of ks south of the Junction) are a good place to go if you like a shopfront, from personal experience give good service and able to answer queries.
Andrews are certainly price competitive and I have bought from them and the service has been great, but they are in Sydney so you will pay freight.
Visiting Bintel will give you a good idea about how big the dobs are before you purchase. Also try to get to a star party or observing night so you can see the different types of scope in operation. If you are thinking of getting both types of scope, buy the dob first as you can alway mount the OTA on an EQ mount later on if you go that way.
