I tend to feel that a lot of people, that bag out people that purchase scopes like AP or Tak, like to convince themselves that their compromise was a worthwhile decision

Seriously though, I know that SCT have improved a lot, but there are still draw backs to them and build quality and reliability is still variable and not up to what I personally want in a scope.

A extremely high quality Dob/Newt like John B has mentioned is definitely something worth considering as the only compromises then become collimation and potentially needing to use a ladder to depending if I consider one of the new fast dobs or not.

Will have to see if I can get my hands on one for a night observing and see what I think first though
