Ive had a 10" meade LX200 close to 4 years now & its been fabulous & has given me much pleasure. Mostly deadly accurate pointing & has worked flawlessy as advertised. Not all their stuff is great but by the same token, not all Fords, Holdens, Nikons, Canons, IBM's, Apple-Mac's etc etc(speaking from experience here) work flawlessly. Theres some real crap amongst mass produced consumables for sure & unfortunately, every so often for some reason or another, a piece of junk gets through. I had a recommended-to-me plumber that plumbed my house several years ago, charged $10,000 & it all stank. Shoddy, lazy workmanship, dripping taps and crappy installation.
My point is that in this day & age with mass produced consumables, there's going to be some rubbish amongst it as the " churn it out & worship the almighty the $$$ & blow the quality control" capitalistic mentality continues.There are many many happy meade owners out there & unfortunately you only ever hear the negative aspects. I will only upgrade my meade when it virtually falls apart or the electronics all die.(Which they will given time)....my two cents
