My post was actually in response to exclamation at how sharp the images were.

I wasn't arguing . I'm pointing out that a good telescope with an EER of 50% does very nicely for imaging and this is some kind of benchmark - something we couldn't seam to establish in the other thread. It is not about the optics beeing 1/20 wave rather than 1/4 wave although I'm sure every bit helps..

Still wondering how much one of these costs to the front door .
