I don't always agree with Mental-Alex but I do today, might be time to put the egos back in their cages and drift back onto the topic
I also like long achromats, I previously had a 6" F10 iStar and now have a nice 3.25" F15 that, given a modern eyepiece like a Tak LE, is a wonderful lunar scope.... I look forward to how these two scopes actually fare....
