I had the scope out very briefly last night and with rough by eye collimation I was very impressed with the performance. I was going to flock the scope but after seeing the good job done with the paint ( it's actually black not dark grey) I have left this for somewhere down the track.
The altitude bearings run on felt, I think all deluxe models have this and the std model has teflon pads.
I readjusted the tension on the mirror clips ( they were screwed down tightly, for transport I suppose ) and in the brief look couldn't see any negative effects.
Springs were from Century.
Assembly/disassembly is simple and easy, especially compared to setting up my giant Unitron 4" refractor.
Collimation appears to be only slightly affected with each rebuild.
The build quality is excellent, I can definately recommend this line of scopes to anyone that wants maximum "bang for your buck"
