Bintel 200mm reflector and Andrews 200mm reflector

Since getting excited about getting going again my head is spinning all day ...researching this and that it just like when I started out and I.am just soaking it up.

I would love to go 10 or 12 inch but given I am not as fit as I once was, ...its only my legs cause I am still not aging, ...well my legs relate to my back and I don't know, I just worry the scar will open if I push things..so eight inch seems sensible...


So F4 or F5?

I.like longer focal length because I think they are more forgiving but that comes from thinking of making my own mirrors..I expect f4 is best and optics are good.

Bintel and Andrews each have eight inch reflectors and I own each business cause each owner personally delivered me goods ... I don't.forget special treatment.
There are ties to each.

I expect one scope is as good as the other but can anyone tell me different...you know one is better because...
F/L and where to buy.

Maybe I could got ten inch but the question as to who to go with will remain.

Any thoughts?

Any help will be really appreciated I just cant stop thinking about this stuff ..when I switch on it becomes obsessive ...I have a list of decisions and I have to settle what I am doing so I can do others things.
