Considering the cooperative relationship between Celestron and Orion, not just in selling Celestron scopes through the Orion Catalog but also selling Sirius/Atlas/SVP versions of Celestron SCTs under the orion brand name, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they wind up selling Sky-Watcher branded scopes through the Orion catalog.

If that does wind up being the case, that alone gives these bad boys a serious leg up on the Lightbridge dobs. Orion's return policies and customer service are pretty much the best in the world, whereas Meade's is sometimes some of the worst.
