Brother in law in England uses one. Quick to setup and align, not too heavy.

I have wondered about something like that, (or Meade equivalent) but wonder whether the limited aperture will leave me very disappointed.... Also, without having played with one, how easy/quick are they? Are the larger ones (up to 8"? I know it is a fair bit more money) just as easy to deal with? Any owners want to comment?
