Agree. The Meade RCX or LX200R is
NOT a Ritchey-Chrétien (RC) design, but an aplanatic SCT.
PERIOD. The true Ritchey-Chrétien design does not use corrector plates as is present in Meade's design.
... and no, you don't get similar performance. You only need to look at the spot diagrams to realise this !!!!
