Agreed, the LX80 lead time was rather ridiculous. I was intrigued by the LX80 when it was announced, but I meant it was the 'wrong' product in that Meade seems to have aimed far too low in terms of quality and payload capacity of the mount. To me, the LX80 should have taken aim at the HEQ5 Pro, and made a leap above that - the AZEQ6 did so, but the Meade LX80 simply hasn't. Fox
