The 2" versions are also more than $275 I think, they used to be almost $400 12 months ago. The 1.25" versions used to sell for just under $300.
Actually I just checked:-

$399-00 for the 2" and $299-00 for the 1.25" versions.

Thanks John, that's good to know that the Widescans would be good for my slow scopes. As you point out though they're not so cheap - the $275 i quoted below was an estimate of US$ as Rapid is in the good ol' US of A. Yep $399 AU.
cheers,
