I use mine with a Baader FringeKiller and find the CA just acceptable, though it took me a while to adjust to it after using a newt. all my life. A few people who have looked through it were pleasantly surprised, probably because they didn't expect much.
In the longer term, the biggest issue I found is the focusser. At first it worked OK but it is not possible to get a perfect focus because you inevitably shake the tube while focussing (this is on an EQ5). So I installed an 'after market' motor focusser. That was OK for a few years but eventually the slop in tube guides was so great that the image shifted significantly every time the focusser changed direction. Now I have a motorised Moonlite focusser and it's a different scope. I reckon just being able to get the focus spot on gains perhaps about 0.5 magnitudes (though I'm a poor judge).
