I have a bintel (gso) and a skywatcher 12" reflector, I find the skywatcher to be of a higher quality. particularly in terms of having a sturdier spider vane (bends very easily on bintel not so much on skywatcher) and better collimation springs (didn't need replacing on skywatcher but did on bintel). This is the black diamond skywatcher it may not be the case on the standard model skywatcher.
