The benefit is that it’s as close to a flat pack dome as you’ll get and to Martin’s point, it holds up to weather well.
One thing to note, if disturbing the neighbors or co-habitants with the sound of the dome moving at night is a potential issue, then the Nexdome is notoriously “clunky” and might not be the best choice, in my experience.

Thanks Paul. The NexDome pricing is very attractive. Luckily my obs will be well away from neighbours 😀 I’m hoping to avoid too much tinkering - the best option in that regard is the Scopedome 2m which comes full assembled so pretty much plug and play. The 2m is a bit smaller than the other options but has a similar slit width. I’ll be running it remotely and it might just work hmmmm.
