It's 10 years later since these original posts, but I'm looking at buying this scope myself as a beginner (and totally new to this forum). I like the Newtonian design as someone mention already it probably will gather more light than an ED80mm. My main reason for looking at this scope is 'Grab & Go' as I don't have the best viewing, save East, from my backyard.
My question is, if you were to buy a 130sf today, which focuser on the market would you buy to replace the original Vixen unit?
