Long f-ratio full-tube newtonians can be extremely good - don’t knock it. Having made one with a cardboard tube, it’s sort of ok but won’t last forever if used often. It must be sealed - every cut, every hole - because dew and humidity will get in. It swells and turns very soft with moisture.

Mine was used very often and it was deteriorating badly after 5 years.
