These as far as I know are not the wholesaler, they have been around for a couple of years,selling many makes of chinese scopes,
Last year or before Tasco became the Synta wholesaler they where importing there own Synta scopes and selling cheap I now see there price's have risen because they have to buy through Tasco.
I have never bought off them but a friend has.
Hopefully there will be some dealers offering good price's on these ED scopes.
The Saxon ED 80 is the same as the Orion.
I bought my Orion in December last year from Bintel in Sydney ph:0292621344, paid $699.00, it really is a great little scope for the money.
Every eyepiece seems to work well, lunar observing with my Lanthinum 4mm is outstanding, it has a great 2" Crayford style focuser with adjustable tension screw.
My only recommendation would be to buy from a good dealer and generally I have found the guys at Bintel to always be more than helpful, speak to Michael or Don, p.s. if you are going to use the ED as a guide scope you need 135mm mounting rings that you can modify that will give you more than enough adjustment, much cheaper than buying pre made guider rings.
Hope I've been of some help
Mick.
