I got excited for about two seconds when some big Skywatcher SCTs started appearing, things like the 9.25 and 11". Basically the same thing as the Celestrons but rebadged and slightly different, I think for the Asian market.
At first I thought Synta may be doing a good thing and making some SW SCTs at a slightly lower price, but no, they sold at the same price as the Celestron models give or take.
