Thanks, the Mewlon only really shows its pedigree when its allowed to reach ambient, no surprises there.

I'm pleased with the package, actually the 210 was bought to test the water before committing to the Mewlon 250.

The TSA shows more contrast but the Mewlon shows more of the fainter stuff so like everything in this game you have to decide what things are important to you. I think the TSA is as good a 120mm refractor as you will find anywhere but 120mm does not show you nebulae and fainter DSOs like the M210. Compared to what I remember of 8" cassegrains, the Mewlon is in a different league once it has cooled sufficiently.
The Baader 2" Dielectric diagonal is also a noticeable step above standard 2" mirrors and has the benefit of very secure eyepiece clamping with no eyepiece tilt or off-axis shift.
