I'm considering buying a VMC 95L because I need a compact, easy to transport (as in transport overseas) telescope. I've read some reviews on the internet about the VMC 95L saying very positive things about this scope, and haven't really read anything negative other than one person experience collimation problems. Most of the reviews are about the VMC 110L, about which there have been positive and negative things said. I'm not sure if the negative experiences reflect earlier production models or if they apply to recently purchased models.

So, I wanted to specifically ask for any member feedback about experiences with the VMC 95L? There may be a difference compared with the VMC 110L because the 95L is slightly slower, which might make it more forgiving of any optical aberrations. Therefore I am specifically interested in feedback on the VMC95L not the VMC110L.

Also, I am particularly interested in feedback from people who have purchased the 95L in the last 2 or 3 years.
