My last post on the subject went unanswered, but I'll try one more time. Has anyone received/used one of these scopes yet? They have been listed in the spotting scopes section of Celestron's website for some time, though I haven't heard whether any have actually shipped yet. Based upon the specs listed (80mm f7.5 ED apo), I am assuming that the optics are the same as those in the Orion 80ED. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, it would seem like a very good value at ~$429 (with a ring, diagonal, finder and eyepiece included). Just a R&P focuser however.
Here is the link to Celestron's page on this scope:

Any info anyone?
