While I didn't buy the Meade 14" for visual - it has given me my favourite views to date of the moon and planets through both Binoviewers and single eyepieces. I wasn't left wanting for additional contrast despite the central obstruction.
My interest in astronomy really kicked-off 20 years ago with a Meade ETX125. Although mass produced - all the Meades I have owned to date have been robust and trouble-free and of terrific optical quality despite being mass produced. I am a fan.
That said, if I didn't own a dedicated astrograph - I would have chosen an Edge 14" since it can fulfil both roles (long and short focal length). Good luck finding one at the moment though - and the Australian mark-up on them feels like robbery
