I find the Celestron to be a lot better then the Meade 10" for optical quality.....I can not base this opinion on too much as I havn't had the chance to do a lot of observing since I have had it....but just going on the 2 main targets of Omega cent(5139) and Jupiter their is no doubt I can see more detail with the C11 then the Meade 10"...another thing to add to this is I am using the 99% reflective dielectric 2" diagonal on the C11 and was only using the standard 2" meade diagaonal I think 87%reflective on the Meade.
I actualy like them both..I dont think their is a real lot off difference with both..if the Meade was 11" I'm sure It would be perform about the same...so saying that the Celestron is more cost affective.
