Leave it as it is and sell it for under 900$ and I call this one sweet deal!

If Celestron sells it, I highly doubt it since they're selling the solid-tube Synta 12" for $1192.

Yeah, but here the Orion 12" w/o COL is going for 1040$ so Orion will probably sell the flextube over 1K also. On the other hand, the new SW flextube is going for 875$.

Sky-Watcher has a good reputation (my scope is a SW and the reviews confirmed its performance), so if the good reviews keep coming this will be a very good scope that need very few mods (thumb screws, maybe RACI, a Telrad and cloudless nights... ).

Moreover, one difference that might stick out between SW and Orion is the rolled steel tube from the later which will make it tougher but also more heavy.
