I regularly view beside a mate who has a big/fast dob, home built from the ground up, mirrors, sink drain focuser and all.
He has a range of home built ep's made with binocular lenses etc, to my eyes some of his eps have more seagulls than the local rubbish dump but he can see/describe detail that I can't get anywhere near with my storebought kit.
Telescope views are, like beauty, very much in the eye of the beholder.
