Some got good 127's. I also know quite a few who did not. I was unlucky.

I nearly bought one of those, but after doing my research, I decided that it was a case of "pot-luck" in getting a good example, as most reviews I saw were kind of critical about the CA. Whereas, when I first looked at the WO, they seem to have good reviews, apart from the focuser, which is crap, but that can be replaced.
Whenever buying anything of value, I do extensive research, as I am not rich, so can't afford to make mistakes, and if there are more than a few negative comments, I steer clear.
I was lucky, it seems......I didn't buy one.
Fortunately, I have never had any issues with the optics on any telescopes I have actually purchased. Mounts, that is a different matter, although the problems with mounts is, pretty much, all down to software issues. I know this much, if some of these mount manufactures where doing the programming for passenger aircraft, I wouldn't get on the plane, as I would likely end up on the Moon.
However, I now have most of it sorted, so I am happy.
