There are a LOT of threads over several forums about issues with Orion Optics UK telescopes that have had primaries and secondaries with really bad figures, mirror cells that cannot hold collimation over 25° movement, focusers missing parts, the list goes on.

When they get it right they can produce an excellent telescope but you are taking a very expensive gamble as to whether you'll have to send it back at your cost for repairs or it'll work out of the box.
