That would have been awesome to see. I'm hoping the Hughes' will be at Astrofest this year with their often talked about 14" Suchting mirror. I've seen through it before but this year I can properly compare it to the 16" - which has a modest GSO by comparison, but I think Jonathan would admit is no bad performer nevertheless.
