Been looking for a high quality 6" Mak-Cass and have realised that the VMC200L is approximately the same price as an Intes Micro 6". The Vixen weighs the same despite the larger aperture (no corrector plate of course) and so portability-wise is also similar.

The biggest downside of the Vixen would appear to be its large (40%) secondary, although I've read a number of posts where owners say this isn't an issue (perhaps compared to your average SCT).

Any owners care to share their views? I'm only interested in visual performance.

Cheers.
