Dont even think about the LX90 over the LX200R.
The LX90 has its ability, but the optics of the LX200R is much more superior.
Spot sizes are up to 10 times smaller than the LX90 over its imaging area, has a flatter field and much less coma. The LX200R is a aplanatic SCT and is the latest design for Meade, although the design has been around for many many many years.

I would agree, the LX200R is superior by substantial margin. I had LX90 8" and now poses 10"LX200R. I would recommend you looking for second hand LX90 8" or if you have the cash consider 10" LX200R, the 8" LX200r looks over engineered with its huge fork arms holding rather small looking OTA...
I am also under impression that the Meade SCT 10" optics are better than 8" for some reason...(other than the aperture of course)
