If I only had a few dollars (and sometimes that's the case) I'd hire a good DVD and watch it with the Kids.
If your talking TWO AND A HALF THOUSAND dollars I'd be looking around the buy and sell marts and see what comes up.
There are absolute bargains to be found for those who have patience and search.
I've done it twice. One of my scopes I purchased for less than a cheap ep. The other I purchased for less than a 2x Powermate.
Both TOP quality OT's.
IF gs and Synta were the "only" lens/mirror manufacturers available I would choose Synta for the lenses and gs for the mirrors. IF that was the case I'd surely hope they'd both improve on their standards for their 'completed' products.
But seeing as other brands of optics ARE still available, a larger mirrored scope of mine would have optics sourced from a better
company.
But that's the same difference as you stated before
A $50 72 datto or a $50,000 s/hand Monaro.
You (hopefully) get what you pay for.
