GSO 8" Dob or Ozscopes 8" Dob?

Hello all,
I have the opportunity to spend a maximum of $400 on a new scope. The two linked below have caught my eye.

http://www.ozscopes.com.au/ozscopes-...-eyepiece.html

I have read that the Ozscopes is a rebranded Saxon.
It has a 5 year warranty whereas the GSO from Andrews has 2 years with the buyer footing the bill for P&P. Should this even be a consideration?

I have no idea how the eyepieces compare but GSO gear seems to be popular.

Given the high praise that GSO scopes garner on IIS, I suspect the GSO is the better option but I would value a second, or more, opinion.

I am assuming either would be a better choice than throwing money at my 5" Skywatcher Heritage, and a significant step up!

Thanks in advance.
Chris
