Help buying an Orion scope

[Err]

After using an 8" manual Dob for some time now have decided to buy a Dob with Go To - an Orion Skyquest XT10g GoTo, have been tempted to go for something bigger but the 10" will still be manageable so will stick with that. We've always bought from recommended sources, ie. FLO, Teleskop Services and Ian King but the only source I can find stocking this scope is 'Widescreen Centre' - can anyone recommend this company?

Cheers

Joe

ps! Just found a site for Orion Telescopes.co.uk which also has the scope I'm after in stock.

They are very nice scopes. The XT10g is a solid tube version of the Skywatcher Flextube 250PX GOTO, which is £240 or so less expensive than the Orion.

SCS Astro in Somerset also list the XT10g:

[Err]

I had a look at the SCS Astro site as it's an authorised Orion dealer but couldn't find the XT10g GoTo - will have another look.

Thanks John
