The CGE Pro 1400 (product code 11088) is not quite as badly afflicted: - At OPT it retails for US$16,897, currently discounted to US$8,999.
- At Sirius Optics, it's $22,749 !!!

It is probably not the retailer that fixes the price. In many instances, you'll find that the price they charge is highly controlled by the principal importer or by the terms of their licence from the manufacturer. I doubt that Sirius are any more pleased about this than we are.
Just noticed Peter's posting. Good move Ron and Peter.
