I am a refractor guy and the idea of an affordable 6" well-correct scope is pretty heady stuff.

However, when I calmed down, I thought that an edge or coma corrected 8" SCT is a better option for most people. It collects more light, as well as being cheaper, lighter and 100% colour corrected. The SCT's 2000mm focal length is more comparable with the refractors than the 2700mm of the F15 Mak, which may be too specialised with its narrow field for those who may be considering the refractor.
