just goes to show that you have to pick what evils you are willing to live with in this field.

I found the Stratus prototype to be remarkably better corrected for astigmatism in fast scopes than the Siebert. Given that the Stratus will sell for the same $200 US, I'd wait another month for it (unless I had balance issues, then I might reconsider the Siebert).
