Saxon and Sky Watcher telescopes come out of a Chinese factory (Synta).
GSO telescopes come out a factory in Taiwan. Bintel dobsonians are GSO telescopes with their own branding marked on the optical tube assembly.
Essentially all scopes within the price bracket you are looking at will be made in China or Taiwan.
So Sky Watcher & GSO telescopes are not made in the same factory. Find your way to a free public viewing session with an astronomical society and I am sure you will be impressed with the views at the eyepiece.
Either way, you can be confident that the Sky Watcher, Saxon and GSO Dobsonians are going to serve you well.
That said, we all have the option of buying hand made mirrors in custom made optical tubes. It all depends on how deep your pockets are.
