Look down at your sig - "Takahashi FC...." Now look back up, and take a deep breath! 
If you've sourced the scope I think you have, then there is no where for you to go after that in terms of an upgrade. You will have attained strehl perfection, the scope of a lifetime, and (i can't believe im typing this...) the scope in that ad would be a disappointing backwards step.
stay strong brother!

Er, are you not having a sale at the moment to consolidate your telescopes down to one scope? I did that too, before I bought the Obsession 18 inch dob and the Japan made Vixen ED80 on GP green mount with Skysensor 2000PC and...etc. I would buy it if I had any money left! nice, very nice.

No......stop...... Don't...... Do....... It.......
I wouldn't want you selling it to me in a weeks time for half the price..........
Or would I???? :-P
Of course, I would only buy it if you painted over that ghastly Takahashi colour scheme and replaced it with skywatcher speckly black :-D

Oh, ya got it now!
Anyway, the FCT-100 arrived in Sydney this morning - now let's see how long Aus Post takes to lase it, find it, lose it again, deliver it, undeliver it, and then card me for it, then don't...
I wasn't even remotely nervous ex-USA. It's the Sydney to here it that scares the living daylights out of me, knowing as I do Aus Posts complete ineptitude of late. (I had to run after the parcel delivery contractor today - she carded me under the door without even knocking, let alone touching the door bell - I was in the flaming back yard, garage OPEN, and saw all this!!!)

PFFFT - you'll need big buckets this time.

If this ain't a good'un, that's it, I am going back to macrame.

She knows you're going to sell it again so why bother dropping off the package.

Actually you've missed the real bargain - was further down the page.
I wonder what the PE of this sucker is?
