Well I might be what you are looking for. I own the 95 and am using it as a guide scope. I had issues with this scope to start with and sent it back for a replacement. Could not get nice round stars no matter what I did. The one I have now is far better than the first one, and I am happy with it as a guide scope and a grab and go..
After saying all of that It is the base model in the range and made in China. Unlike the 110 and above are made in Japan. It presents good value for money but lacks a little in overall image clarity. It really gets down to your expectations and needs in a scope. This is really a well priced little unit. For planet viewing it's pretty good and easy to carry around. I took mine to Alaska last year. Some good points are that it has no corrector plate so you won't get dew problems which is a real asset when you are using a grab and go.
I purchased the PortaMount and find that very good to use. Nice looking scope also, but I don't think they are stocked here in Australia. I purchased my from ScopeCity in the USA whilst on holiday
Hope this helps
