I was notified last week. Turned it down. The E-mail politely noted that "Some time ago you expressed interest in the 130 Gran Tourismo..." "Some time ago ," I wrote back, "was 8-1/2 years." (It wasn't called the GT back then.) I am still on the list for the 160, but when I asked how long it might be before I might be notified, the answer was, basically, "don't know."
I turned down the 130 because since September of 2000 the price had more than doubled. Same for the 160, so I can no longer justify owning both scopes. Guess I'll have to start liquidating my present scope assets in preparation for the 160 notification--probably another year from now is my estimate. For now my 152 f/9 Starfire serves me admirably.
