Wow Leon, that was quick!

I didn't realise you went for the original FSQ-106n. Not the new one. This would explain why you got it so quickly. The new ones are not released yet. I got an email from Leon at AEC today. He's confirmed my order for the FSQ-106ED. Will be some time till I see it though...

Congrats on the scope.
