Takahashi and unquestionable in they're color correction and quality.
But furthermore I hadn't really considered everything in detail regarding the type of idealic setup I am hoping for. So all up I think conservatively I need to budget 20k. I can definitely feel that black hole in my pocket feeding on my wallet.....
+1.
TOA150 may be the best scope in the market in its class. Main complaint about it is it is a heavy scope and front heavy. But its performance is remarkable.
I think there was one that sold on Astromart recently quite "cheaply" at about $6500. Usually they are around $7500 to 8500 2nd hand.

Agree with Greg here, look on Astromart - they do come up. US exchange rate is still working in your favour, though expect to pay $500 + in shipping + duties and GST etc.
