hey yagon
I've got the 8" saxon mak. I dont think the quality of the optical tube is hugely inferior to the skywatchers but then again i dont own a skywatcher. I terms of price there is a huge difference though as skywatchers u have listed are both about 2000 and i bought mine for 1995 (with 50mm more aperture). Im not entirely happy with the mount and ill probably put a motor on it in the near future.
Hope this helps.
