A good point, I am not sure on the timeline for the SVX scopes being introduced to start with but the last of the SV series seemed to peter out about a year ago. Perhaps Vic Maris read the tea leaves a couple of years back and decided it was a good time to move further up market than QC checking and hand assembling off the shelf supplies. With the D.T. induced trade war it would seem to have been a pretty good move as the website seems to generally list "We are busy making these" rather than the rest of the astro worlds "Back ordered, no date"
