I'll have to bring my 20" up for a side by side one weekend.

Thanks Jonathon, yes no problems with the hail just around my neighbourhood.
I somehow think a side by side comparison with your beauty will blow the doors off the Skywatcher!! A couple of other AAQ members are also considering these scopes and are keen to check it out, so I will try to organise a test drive one Saturday night soon here at my place - you are more than welcome to join us. I will keep you updated if you are interested. I look forward to some assessments from other sets of eyes!
