I'm going to post more extensively on the 10" Saxon/SW Dob. I picked mine up today. very impressed. Build quality and attention to detail is commendable. Puts the GSOs to shame. For a newbie who does not want to tinker, fix up things, the Saxon or SW is a much better choice. It is a very well made scope. The mirror is just a whisker over 10-inches in diameter, between 255 and 256mm.
On the downside: R&P focuser only atm, and fitting a GSO Crayford might be a bit tricky. Saxon has ED80-style Crayfords available for these scopes. Bolt-on Orion Accufocuser is another possibility.
