Totally understand that, I wasn't comparing it saying it was better than a similarly sized quality newtonian, just that it was superb for visual observation of the moon and planets, and that visually it was closer to a refractor view than a typical reflector in terms of contrast...
I would also agree that the quality of the views of the Mak are occasionally blown out of proportion, however I wasn't using a meade or a skywatcher mak cass, it was a 3500 euro scope, and far superior to the mass produced units.
I completely concur though, If I were to buy a scope tomorrow it would be a big newt... no doubt about it. Unbeatable as long as they are reasonably high quality optics and sufficiently cooled.
