Hi Rom,
and thanks for taking the time to let me know about your experiences. I'm sorely tempted by the Megrez 90, but it's just going to be too much weight and too large an instrument for my mount, unfortunately I used to own a TV101, and know that the extra 10mm of aperture in the 90 would make quite a difference.

I'm getting close to ordering a Stellarvue SV80ED Raptor (the carbon fibre one) after weeks of near constant deliberation, review reading, chatting with the guys at Bintel and talking with you all here. It's about 1kg lighter than any other 80mm ED, and comes with Stellarvue's reputation.

In the old days, this would have been quite an easy decision. But with a wife and cute daughter under my belt now, every cent counts. Wish me luck

Dean
