Hi guys, I am considering the ED models, and I may well have to wait until the SPSP and hope someone has one that I can look through. I had the first Borg 100ED (sold my TV-85 to get it cos I wanted more aperture) but the Borg just wasn't as good as the TeleVue. That's why I'm a bit reluctant to go with Orion/Skywatcher, at least not until I've tried one out.

As for Meade, they seemed to have terrible QA problems with their old APOs, and now there's the new 127mm, made in China and due out in May. Price seems a bit too good to be true, but again I'll maybe just have to wait and see.

The biggest problem, as always, is I want one NOW! However, all the research and window shopping on the 'net sure is fun.
