Interesting, but given the list prices I've seen for the 8" and 10" Tak "observatory class" refractors, I'd rather order one from APM. If I ever do own a refractor that big, it will most likely be a D&G achromat.
Yes, there is a 12" TMB for sale, for a fraction of the price:

To my knowledge, TMB has produced triplets up to 20", so a 12" Tak is not so much exciting...
However, I have to admit, a focal ratio of f/8 is very exciting for a 12" refractor (the TMB has f/12).
