I will put in a mildly opposing view point. I bought the Evostar 72 for a bit of relatively cheap fun and it is proving to be exactly that. Colour correction versus a more expensive and probably better scope I cant comment on, but it is small, pretty light and certainly not horrible.
It does have drawbacks. They have cocked up the design somewhat, the OTA is in my opinion about 15mm too long. I am pretty well at what I consider to be correct spacing with the field flattener and after taking about 4mm off the supplied compression fitting I have less than 1mm of backfocus left. It is OK for people like me with a lathe but with a reducer/corrector it is not plug and play. They are apparently about to release a threaded adapter/rotator but I think they have that wrong too and it will prevent people achieving focus and best correction at the same time.
I am going to get a threaded custom adapter made which will gain about another 6mm of focus travel, and deal with camera orientation with delrin washers. Just waiting on some feedback on the first one that is being made for someone else after exactly the same thing.
