Hi,

Just didn't want you jumping in head 1st and ending up with a dud mirror and a non local supplier. Torus changed their name from Torus to Optical Mechanics Inc (OMI)about 3 years ago, you aren't likely too see Carl Zambuto or Bob Royce do that !! Read into that what you wish. I also suggest you read this story:-

Torus obviously produce some very fine mirrors but obviously the odd lemon gets through as well. What you don't need are those issues to resolve with a supplier 10,000 miles away.

Good luck whichever way you go.
