As good as some of these GSO RC's are turning out to be, I don't believe that the quality of manufacture is there yet to justify purchasing one, on the basis that you have a good chance of getting a dodgy piece of kit. If you want a quality RC, you have to be prepared to fork out good money for one. For instance, an OGS RC of the same size as the larger GSO (10") model costs between $24900 and $31500. An RCOS model of slightly larger size (12.5") is $21500. As they say, you get what you pay for. I think manufacturers such as GSO and other who are making these cheap RC's are only doing themselves and the RC design an injustice by slacking off with build quality. They'd be better off taking their time to create much better and more consistently built scopes. Even if the prices are higher for the sake of doing so. I'd rather pay $5000 for a good quality, well built and tested scope than $2000-$2500 for something I'd end up using as a door stop.
