New 5" ED refractor

Does anybody know if the new 80mm and 127mm ed refractors are manufactured in Irvine, CA or elsewhere in the US? I certainly would like to get one in May but I'd opt for the WO 105mm triplet if the Meade refractors are manufactured elsewhere.

Thanks for info.

I've read they're being made in China.

Here's a thread that discusses them.
