The LX90 can be tuned up to perform and produce good results, and so far i have not seen any bad optics on the meade's i have looked through. Check out the images produced by 5ash and others with a LX90 on a wedge. However I am lead to believe (in what i have read) that the CPC would perform better mechanically and electronically. The entry level Celestron would be the Nexstar SE series, but this is a single fork arm compared tot he dual fork arm of the LX90. The SE however allows friendly mounting options for other smaller retractors and smaller ota's.
One other point that I have personal experience with is that the LX mounts dont allow for easily removal of the OTA to be mounted on an alternative mount and then remounted on the fork. But I have read the Celestron's come with markings to make it easier to remount the OTA on the fork arms. With the LX its is a quiet a process ensure orthogonal realignment in the fork arms. This may be no issue for a buyer who does not have multiple mounting requirements.
Kosh, glad to hear it. But I went with them simply for price they were 1/3 sometimes 1/4 of prices quoted by others. Also there website made it easy to get a quote and book.
