You were clearly not thinking of the front UTA/OTA opening when you referenced vignetting. You were clearly referencing vignetting introduced by any secondary mirror mounted without an offset. I decided to contribute to this thread to explain this is incorrect. There are reasons when a secondary mirror offset is needed but what you have stated in the above quote is not one of these reasons.

OK, I will stop now. This exchange is becoming extremely uncomfortable.
