Can't help you with the Australian vendor. I'm also not sure what you're looking to do with the scope. Having a camera or not is probably the biggest question.
I have a binocular Amscope with a gooseneck LED light, boom stand, and long working distance. I primarily use it for soldering; the long working distance means there's plenty of space to maneuver an iron. It's also handy for inspecting components/soldering/traces/etc. and for other fine work like cutting traces with a knife. I almost always use the 5x eyepiece. I used the 20x eyepiece one time: I intentionally cracked a ceramic capacitor in order to see the layers. They're crazy thin! I don't recall using the 10x eyepiece. The scope does not have a camera or anything like that.
The scope I have looks like this one

I've thought of buying a fancier microscope from time to time, but this one works very well for my purposes, and I haven't been able to justify spending more for the fancier ones. Maybe I'll eventually get one with a camera (or buy a separate USB microscope).
Edit: When the microscope arrived, the LED light did not function. The power supply was fine, and the LED itself was broken. I relayed this to Amscope and asked for a replacement LED to avoid shipping costs, and they sent a new LED. They said sending only the replacement part worked better for them as well. It's not cool that it was broken, but I was happy with their response.
