Depends whether you want to do AP or visual.
I have had a look through one ... side-by-side it was optically indistinguishable from the TS 130mm f/7 triplet APO I had at the time. The only real difference was the rather more lavish hardware - focusser and rings. Whether that’s really worth another $7k is up to you. There’s nothing magical about these scopes - they are very well built but they don’t break the laws of physics when it comes to resolution, nor are they comparable to a Questar 7 which could be had for not much more.
I also had the chance to look through an Intes 150mm mak-newtonian on the same night. IMHO the Intes was the better scope visually.
For medium and high power visual observing a larger SCT or Mak is better, frankly.
