Makes obvious sense who should be first.

Customers make a business! then the Shareholders make their profit!
Agree totally...

Cut jobs to maximise shareholder profits...
Use cheaper/poorer materials in manufacture to maximise shareholder profits...

And that's all passed down to thee and me!!!

In the early 90's I had a Celestron C8, I bought a load of compatable/cheaper Meade accessories - they were crap in comparison to the Celestron gear, put me off Meade to this day!
