Well, your friend bought it already so there is little point discussing the pros and cons of his decision. I take it that it's a 4" apo, and that it is pretty much as good as a 4" scope gets.

BTW: howmuchisit and whatsitfor?

There's a review of the scope on Astromart. Reviewer seems pretty happy. Vixens are not up there with the likes of Takahashi et al ... but good scopes none the less.
