I had a similar one, a Saxon 130mm, lent to me for a few months with an option to buy.
It didn't take long to decide against it. The OTA (tube) itself was ok, but the eyepieces were of poor quality and the rest of the scope was altogether too wobbly and easily shaken, spoiling the view and frustrating the hell out of me.
For only a little more money you can pick yourself up a nice scope with a larger apeture and better quality eyepieces thrown in for the price.
I bought mine from Andrewscom.com.au.
You're doing the right thing by researching before buying.
