Re: [APML]: 500-700 mm range

I also have and HD145 and am quite happy with it... The HD145 would
outperform the Traveller hands down...  But your biggest problem is getting
these.  GOOD LUCK!!  The waiting period for the Traveller is about a year
or even two while it takes about a year for an HD145...
