Hi Troppo and welcome to IIS.
I'll vote for the LX200R but I'm biased as well
. I love mine.
Seriously though when I bought mine I researched both scopes and found them both excellent buys for what I was looking for. In the end I went with the Meade as I was offered a better deal.
Either way I think you will be very happy with the choice, but do your research and talk with the scope shops to see what they are offering.
Cheers
