I should add that if money is tight and you really want a 10 or 12", then you might want to buy from Andrews (
www.andrewscom.com.au). As I understand it:
Andrews do not have an internal QC system like Bintel do which is why they can offer the scopes for less. Bintel have experienced staff who disassemble inspect and reassemble each scope; centre spot the mirror if need be; and send back any scopes that are no good. All this costs money. Andrews buy the goods in bulk and sell them onto the customer as they receive them; they follow the "box-in box-out" business model.
