My last scope was an 8 inch f5 saxon dob (synta - skywatcher optics). The mirror whilst giving fairly good views suffered a bit of spherical abberation on star tests.

My GS has a much better figured mirror. The word is that GS consistantly make good mirrors whilst Synta (skywatcher) are a half step behind.
