Peter - I can't agree with you more as I too find price range of $1500-$3000 very disenchanting when every other astro store clearly state their price. However, as Mark has noted I wasn't actually thinking to buy in NSW anyhow. The real irony is that what impressed me so much about the Vixen AX103s (or Vixen in general) was their transparency in openly listing their specs just like Tak. From my own experience you are hard pressed to find such data freely listed by many other manufacturers (even TV) which would make them accountable if someone independently tested their OTA.
Mark - you mentioned making a lot of inquiries about the AX103S and in the end decided against it - I would be very appreciative if you could elaborate on what you found out?
