Astrobargains brought in the Celestron 80ED for me. Same optics as the Orion / Skywatcher 80ED but in a sleeker black. Please note that the Celestron 80ED has the rack and pinion focuser and not the Crayford found in the other 2.
Ask JB if he can get it in cheaper than the Orion 80ED.
Astrobargains sells them cheaper. His price is competitive to the USA prices just that you don't have to ship it to Singapore which will add a lot more cost.
Sometimes the local price is the same as if you order from US and add the shipping charges, with some minor additional charge of $10-20. I would still buy local in such cases as there is less uncertainty (lost shipment, damaged shipment, etc), I can inspect before I buy, and I do not have to wait 1 - 2 weeks.
If the difference is more than 50% of the price, then I will take the trouble to order overseas.
Cheers!
