H, if aperture was all that mattered, why would anyone use a refractor? You can get many times the aperture from a Newt or SCT you can get from a refractor without spending lots more.

There has to be more to making a choice. For instance:
The Meade has a mirror lock. The C11 doesn't.
The GSO is an RC. The C11 isn't.
C11s have a fairly good reputation. GSO have been a bit variable.
