So i need a scope to go on my new paramount MX which should arrive sometime in the next 2 weeks. it looks like my plans to get a second hand planewave 12.5 fell through because the vendor wants to sell it as a package with the titan mount (if anyone knows someone who would like to part with a cdk 12.5 or 14 please let me know). anyway, now that option has been removed i am looking into a new scope. after looking into all the options, i think the best mix of quality and price are the planewave products. i have been back and forth over the 12.5 and the 14 for a while. the additional price of the 14 is just enough to make me baulk but it has advantages such as; bigger flat FOV, less vignetting, bigger aperture and slightly faster, better design for cleaning, better baffles, integrated dew heaters, truss design. what does everyone think? i am open to other suggestions as well. i am looking for a high quality RC (with flattener) or CDK design between 12 and 14.5" weighing less than 30kg and an f ratio between 5 and 10.
