Interestingly a couple of months ago The Sky at Night Mag had a test that included the CPC800 and the LX90 GPS. The test was about goto scopes and the Celestron got the nod as the better goto scope because of its software. On optics they rated the Meade more highly. Overall there wasn't a lot in it.
