Richtey Chretien Vs. Mak Newt

Howdy

Am using a 200mm F5 newtonian for imaging, and its ok, i need to use the MPCC, and it suffers from vignetting, but it has its advantages.

Last night i was asked the question i have waited nearly 10 months to hear

"What do you want for Christmas?"

so i am looking at a dedicated scope for imaging, and i am looking at either an 8" RC, or the equivelant Mak-Newt. Whats best for DSO's, and whats the pro's/cons of each?

i did google this, but i guess IIS member opinions are a factor in this to, so what do you think? they are both around the same size, and cost




ADDENDUM : I just called Andrews, about the Mak-Newt. They said they are not gonna get them in now, as they are overpriced, and there are far better scopes they have in stock for the money.
