Looks like the same thing to me. Explore Scientific 30 82 is the same Optics as the Meade. I have had the ES 30 82 and Nagler 31.... not much difference.

The Saxon looks not bad at that price, as long as you can return it if it’s a dud.
I’d wait for a used ES 30 82 to turn up or place a wanted ad, instead of buying the Meade/Saxon.
