My 8" is steel tubed however I've found focus shift to be minimal. If you were to add the cost of robofocus to the scope that will automatically adjust for any temperature induced focus shift, you are still looking at around $2500 less than a triplet refractor that will still undergo focus shift due to temperature. Mirror based systems are cheaper and provide much more light per dollar than any apo
