this has the same mirror 8" (made by the one company) as the guan sheng dob from andrews site - it is slightly more expensive because it does not have a solid tube, but poles which join the mirror cage at bottem to where the eyepiece sits at the top. Hence they are slightly more portable and pack away slightly better - although because they are not a solid tube you cannot mount them on an EQ mount later on.
There are quite a few users here who have lightbridges, they' re quite similar to the GS/bintel dobs dob apart from the design of the truss poles.
