ok lets allow $40 for delivery from sydney, that makes the difference just over $100 from the bintel. did myastroshop quote a price inc freight???
if it were me, I would be happy to be able to walk into bintel, talk with the guys and take it home, but not quite for $100 more.
Have you rung bintel or are you just checking the websites prices?
If you had said $499 for the bintel then i would say bintel straight away.
Ring em up, mention what you are looking at ie andrews / myastroshop / bintel. It doesn't hurt. Write down the freebies
For mine, i would be ordering the Guan Sheng GS-680-Deluxe-Crayford @ $549 plus freight or similiar. The crayford focusser is one of the best upgrades you can do.
So my ideal setup, would be a bintel with a crayford at around $600. Having the guys local is a big plus!!
I have just noticed janoskiss replying, he has the 8", so you should be in good hands.
