Thanks Mike

Yes - you are quite correct. I have actually seen both in the flesh (or perhaps metal would be the more appropriate word) and you are correct that they both most likely come from a common third party supplier and then the respective manufacturers do some adjustments of their own. The side panels in the WO 1.25 originally were made from silver coloured brushed metal and then subsequently changed to the current fibre glass whereas the orion side panels appeared to be made out of black plastic. Naturally logos etc were also different. However, the shape/design and I suspect mirror inside I suspect are identical - hence why I am happy with either the Orion or WO

Having said all of this - does anyone actually have one they might sell?
