Nicely put Peter, Personally, whilst I think the LX850 shows some very nice innovation, I think Meade spent too much on the Meade Max and LX850 mounts - and conversely too little on an LXD75 replacement. They should have gone for higher quality design to really compete with the HEQ5, AZEQ6 and Celestron VX ballpark. The Meade LX80 was the wrong product IMHO. Fox
