Yea I'm wondering about the DEC balance with the Starlock as well, If these scopes turn out to be all that they are saying they are which is unlikely they surely be some very nice bits of kit. All will be revealed when the first proper reviews come out suppose.

Bintel has the refactor's listed as well.

Strange that Bintel has the new scopes listed so early when they rumored to not even be available till around November.
