You have to compare the Evolux 82mm f6.4 480mm with a Esprit 80mm f5 400mm, Build will be better as should the optics be in the Esprit i would think but the Evolux will make a better dual scope being at f6.4 even though an 80mm refractor is better suited at f7+ IMO for visual , Esprit is $1,000 more and there seems to be no talk whatsoever about glass used in the Evolux.
Will be interesting to see comments on the Evolux from both sides of the hobby.....

Skywatcher's adverts say the Evolux are designed specifically for imaging and yet they are fast doublets with unspecified ED glass. I suspect they won't live up to the marketing but will be interested in the reviews when people start buying them.
