I agree. Many amateurs tend to be very technical and forget to enjoy the sky.
I also have not the best scopes (i.e. triplets or fluorite / FPL53), but I have a 'quick view' tabletop 80mm achromat which performs very well. And a 110mm ED doublet travel scope which performs even better, and color errors are only discernable at very bright objects like Venus and (barely) with Jupiter. On astrophotos the fringes are nonexistent.

So for me spending A$10k for an FSQ-106 is a waste of money.
