To have the view of a lifetime, you have to have a mirror that is figured to perfection and anything less is settling for a lifetime of mediocrity.

BTW I have seen through a number of truly fabulous Skywatcher mirrors, but have yet to use a big un. I expect that they are pretty good though, and look forward to getting some eyepiece time with one
