great decision , I have a 10 inch back in NZ and as Raymo says this is a serious telescope and you will get many years out of it , baring a catastrophe , on a side note. , a fellow IIS,r here in Perth has the SW 10 inch and no bull it has some of the best reflector optics I have ever seen. , very. , very good .
Enjoy yours , sure you will..
