Great input all, thanks for the replies.
I spoke to one of the Bintel guys from Sydney yesterday and he told me they will be keeping the price of the 10' @ $799.00 until they sell out and unless there is a sudden drastic increase of demand or someone from this forum decides to go out and buy 20 of them

that wont be until around Feb so I have a bit more time to research things. Im sure both companies are selling a great product and I will be happy with either.
Iceman,
I want to start from the ground up (except build my own scope) and go through everything myself as I find that fun as alot of others here do. I can't wait to make my first mistake but hopefully it is nothing major. lol If I am having too much trouble with something I know there are pleanty of people from here like yourself that will happily lend a hand.
Once again thanks to all,
Mike.
