Hi,
I find that having both the red-spot and 9x50 useful, especially during initial alignment. The red dot will help get the scope close to your target. Hopefully at this stage the target star will be visible in your scope's e.p. If not, then the 9x 50 can be used to refine the alignment. Once the target star is visible in the scope, centre it with your 12.5mm reticle e.p. then without moving the scope go back and adjust your other finders so that the target is centred. At this stage you can then remove the RDF if you want, and just rely on your 9x50 finder. But recapping - both types have there place and are useful.
