Hi,

As Ken explained Pyrex is a better mirror substrate than BK7 which is an optical glass, however BK7 also makes very nice mirrors and the end user would be hard pressed to detect a difference which will only be in cooling time not visual quality. Yes, you will use the cooling fan frequently and the Crayford focuser is way better than the Rack and pinion.
