After the financial problems Meade have reportedly had, maybe they don't make the Lightbridge series any more.
I don't know why your friend would want one. I often go out with a couple of locals who have a 10 and a 16.
With my 10" collapsible I'm up and running long before them. The
optics are on a par with each other. The 10" Lightbridge is a pain in the
a--, literally; you have to pretty much sit on the ground to use it, it
is so low slung. I don't have to tweak the collimation every time I
use mine, and at the end of the session I'm packed up and ready to go long before them.
I'm sure many owners love them; it's just my opinion.
