Skywatcher 120ED/Orion 120ED Same Scope?

I see one prominent vendor in New York is selling both the Orion 120 EON ED refractor for $1999 while it also sells the skywatcher 120ED pro for $1495. Both scopes ship free.
Are these the same scopes made by synta or another company?
Anybody know?

Hi Rod,

I researched these two scopes before I purchased the Skywatcher with the same question in mind. I was told by more than one person in and out of the industry that these scopes share the same optics but the EON has slightly better appointments such as a retractable dewshield and a different focuser. I thought that the Skywatcher was a better bargain and I'm extremely pleased with it. Hope this helped.

Merry Christmas,

Steve
