Don't get me wrong. There is no denying "the numbers".

An instrument like this one falls into the realm of a curiosity. It will be very difficult to sell. But if the chance presents itself for some time with it, it certainly is worth the experience. The 5.3% translates to an effective aperture of 17mm. Still larger than our pupils. If the scope is capable of putting the whole of Orion through the eyepiece, I'll have a look. Purchase it, no.

It's easy to sit behind "the numbers" and crucify something. It's another to acknowledge the numbers but still have a look and understand what it has to offer. That's the only thing I've said all along.
