[Chaos-l] Update

[Fred File]

After a recommendation from the Astronomy forum I decided to purchase a Orion 
Sirius EQ-G tripod and mount.  I also backordered a 6" Ritchie-Chretien 
reflector from Astronomics 
(http://www.astronomics.com/main/product.asp/catalog_name/Astronomics/category_name/U5QNWB3RKWWL8N3EL99F9DX9A0/product_id/AT6RC) 
 At $299 it certainly seems too good to be true.  I am having buyer's remorse 
but acn still cancel the order since I have not paid anything yet.  Reviews 
around the internet are mixed on the telescope and the vendor - vendor owns 
Cloudynights site and most of the good reviews seem to come from there.

Anyone have experience with this telescope and/or vendor?

As always any advice/recommendations appreciated.
