Have you seen this review:

Admittedly for the push to rather than goto but other than that difference, the review is relevant.

I have personally looked through this scope many times and I am always impressed with the experience. The optics are first class and compare favourably with many other (much) more expensive scopes that I have had the pleasure to look through.

I personally have a Skywatcher collapsible goto and I love that scope and the collapsible nature (rather than Orion's dismantle-able struts). But I have to admit that I feel the Orion (and I have observed through several) has a slightly higher quality build and optics, overall.

Having said that when I had the chance to acquire one recently, I decided to stick with the SW.
