Two competing factories in fact. Synta in the red (Chinese) corner and GSO in the blue (Taiwan) corner.

But do GSO produce the same OPTICS for Meade, and not just other parts? And speaking of the LightBridge, I never understood the truss design. Don't you get a lot of unwanted light flooding in from the sides?

You will find exactly the same optics in a Meade lightbridge as you will a gso/bintel/southern cross dob. No better and no worse.
The truss design is about being able to dissassemble into smaller more portable components. The only light that really matters, is that which can be seen by looking into the focuser.
