Who sells the SQM (Sky Quality Meter)

All,
Is there a vendor for the Unihedron Sky Quality Meter in Australia?
Please let me know.
Regards,
Peter

There wasn't one when I bought mine, but it arrived pretty quickly from Canada.

I bought mine from VTI Optics.
As good as they come, these gadgets.

But which one? Wide or Narrow Field of View? I am guessing that the Narrow FOV is a better choice for people living in metropolitan or suburban areas (just to avoid collecting street lights) and the Wide FOV is better for dark sites and the country - but is this a correct assumption?

Generally I think people go for the SQM-L, the narrow field of view model. See the first FAQ at http://unihedron.com/projects/darksky/faqsqml.php
