I imagine quality control is going out the door as competition becomes more fierce
Thats an interesting comment Tony and a valid one. But I would also have thought that as competition gets more fierce and margins getting tighter, I'd be asking myself how can I make my products more attractive than my competitor and better quality control would have to be up there high on the agenda.
Given this hobby relies, expects and uses precise instruments and accessories, you'd think making high end quality gear would be one of their mission statements.

Many companies, not just astronomical ones, cheapen their name these days by selling out and cashing in on the lower end of the market. Some do it well, others have a long way to go.
