Naturally, it also works as a delux finder.
If you eleminate the TV-60 on the basis of needing something that will take 2' EPs/diagonals etc then the Tak 60 is slightly better on every other attribute but loses to the TV-60 in terms of sacrificing portability

Yeah, and I wouldn't be spending close to a grand on a casual spotter!
Astro Tech had a short-lived 60ED but it was a triplet, as heavy as a 72mm scope and the optics weren't great. Otherwise it was exactly what I wanted!
