For what its worth i just had my Celestron 6 side by side with an Intes 65 Mak in Sydney. I had been toying with getting a Mak you see thought it might have better field qualities. The C6 even though a few years old has hardly been out of the box (its still in tissue) and really gave surprisingly good images and very high contrast. So i would have a good look at one of these. Mounts are fairly cheap in particular there are often Vixen GPs on this forum for under $300 and tis telescope will sit on one of these with ease!
that said i am getting a new refractor soon i will probably list the C6 sometime in the near future. I have a c11 as well so the c6 was an extravagance!
