I've been looking at solar telescopes for a long time and sort of forgot about them until I received the recent email on Coronado sale of up to 20% off. Reading the forums, I am hooked again.

What are the feelings between the following:
Coronado 90 double stack 30mm blockiing filter $5400 after 20% off
Coronado 90 double stack 15mm blockiing filter $4800 after 15% off
Lunt 80 doublestack 18mm blocking filter(no feather touch focuser) $5100 regular price with pressure tuning

Coronado in stock and with Richey tuning. Lunt may be out of stock.

Is this system too big (not very portable) and would the 50/60mm scopes be nearly as good. I tend to buy higher end up front as I always seem to want more later and would rather not have to buy another later.

Don't currently image, but likely will after this purchase.

Probably need new mount as all I currently have is my old CGE celestron beast I am tired of carrying in and outside.

Thanks for any input
