Thats funny Matt...Striker doing visual work...your asking me who has 2 Meade eyepieces that have not come within 2 meters of any off my scope's for the last 6 months and they were only used to start my drift aligning.
I can clearly see the difference in sharpness compared to my C11 but the C11 is still a nice scope.
Another area I feel the Meade has it over the Celestron is mirror flop...my mirror used to flop all over the place when focusing via the sct focus knob but the meade has much less movement in this area....I noticed this immediately between owning the 10" LX200 and the 10" LX200R compared to the Celestron C11.
As far as build quality....I cant see any difference between them both....there both well made.
I liked them both.....its funny that over here the Celestron has the better name but it's the opposite in the states.....it's all Meade...but you still cant go past the great following of the 9.25 which you already have.
Matt....sorry I cant help on the visual side...it really does not interest me......blame my light polution...sorry
