I'm not "more experienced" but ill give my perspective anyway , im not entirely convinced the mirror lock on my LX200 is truly effective and tweaking the focus on my scope seems to be its biggest issue .Visually my 10'Lx200 performs very well, star tests seem satisfactory, stunning GOTO accuracy....with a crayford focuser the scope for an eyeball observer is a top tool.For photographic work care tends to be taken to take into account a users experience, imaging at these focal lengths is frustratingly difficult {and addictive} so my time spent on focusing and collimation might be under par then some one with greater skill.As Tony suggested in the previous post the 9.25 OTA appears to have from reputation better thresholds for focusing which seems to backed up by the splendid planetary images the 9.25 owners have achieved and displayed here and elsewhere.Compared to the images ive produced of Jupiter during this season mine have been consistently softer then theres.If I had my time again I would still definetly go for the lx200 if I was interested in only observing but for imaging the 9.25 and G11 would be the direction I would take
