C9.25 has flatter field, wider zone of critical focus making focus easier to maintain, and is 3 or 4 kilo's lighter than the Meade 10".
I don't own a c9.25 but I've been looking into purchasing the c9.25, c11 or meade10". The c9.25 has a cg5/vixen style dovetail. The meade has some weird dovetail that doesn't seem to fit anything. Meade has been having more than their fair share of quality control problems recently(related to poor assembly rather than optical quality).
There doesn't seem to be a consensus regading CF vs Al. I'm concerned about the insulating properties of CF in a temperate climate.
