Good price Tim for a lot of scope .
I have the Saxon version and it is a great performer on all objects , shows the planets very well up to around 300x on a good night and the moon is spectacular !!! .
It also performs very well on deep sky showing almost as mush as a friends 8inch Meade SCT when set up side by side , I like these scopes ,,,,,, BUT , you need a good mount as they are LONG and HEAVY so I recon an HEQ5 as minium . I do have a friend with the light blue SW version on a Vixen Super Polaris mount and tall stainless tripod that is OK for visual .
Also any Minus Violet filter works well at taming CA on brighter objects like Jupiter and Venus , I find the moon pretty CA free without one fitted , but you eyes might be different as has been mentioned by anj025 and Mark .
Here is mine on its HEQ5 and HD wooden tripod , a nice solid set up that performs brilliantly .

ps. the white rings on the OTA are white nylon ( 4mmx25mm ) wrapped and riveted to the tube so I can leave the rings loose and rotate the OTA without it slipping downwards and losing balance , this works surprisingly well .
