Order placed!

I looked into everything everyone suggested and it ended up being a toss up between the GSO & the Bintel one.
Andrews didn't have the Telrad Dew Shield Plus to complete my order so I then went with Bintel but after my order was completed and paid for, I got a call back saying that the finderscope isn't in stock and will take about a month. My credit card didn't end up getting charged for the finder and he said if I still want it when it comes into stock I won't have to pay $15 shipping again. He echoed what many have said in the past, that once I have the Telrad, I wouldn't use the finderscope much . Which is the very reason I decided not to go for an expensive finderscope. At least I have a straight thru finder anyway working with the soon to have Telrad for the time being. If I can't wait that long and still have issues I guess I can still go ahead and order the one from GSO and pay the extra $15.

Stu, every word of yours echoed what hubby told me yesterday and each time I re-looked at the Stellarview, I had both your voices ganging up on me and I would stop each time and go, okay okay, I know you're right. Hubby also said when I have the expensive equipment to put it on then I could justify it.

Paddy, as a fellow visual observer & obs forum buddy, I was eager to hear your thoughts because you do amazing things star hopping.

Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to help me out, I really am very grateful.
