Thanks guys,
I'm getting pretty good indications re Northgroup, so will probably settle on their ED 127mm (the CF version sound good, will enquire with them re that one) and upgrade the focuser later.
Just can't get enough information about joctech to be comfortable in buying direct from them.
Have also just purchased a NEQ6 from BTOW in Perth - haven't found anyone to come near their current price ($1360 + shipping). Too good a price to refuse.
