I still tend to think a slick 20" truss Dob would pull in more customers, but knowing what I know about running a telescope shop (i.e., nothing) I'd bet my life savings that you made the right decision and I'm just dreaming.
Good luck with the move!

We're about 20 min from Brisbane. See
http://www.sirius-optics.com.au/visitus and you'll also see a pic of the shop, and you'll know what I mean by no space... and we've got even more stock now. (Reminds me, I need to post up a new photo of the shop.)
It's customers (and potential customers) who give the most valuable feedback, so sharing your thoughts is much welcome!
I think you guys have convinced me to consider again having a big scope in the shop--the problem is figuring out where to put it and whether to wait till we move. With our current premises, I'm terrified that one day someone will trip on a scope because there's just so little room to move--not so much damaging the scope, but hurting themselves.
If you have a big ticket item that costs thousands and thousands of dollars, suddenly the $500 scope looks very cheap.
