I used to own one of these myself . Although not a bad scope, the GSO 8 inch dob is superior optically and cheaper. The Saxon dob i had had obvious spherical abberation on star testing whilst the GSO mirrors in the main have a much better figure.
On the plus side, the 8 inch f5 OTA and base are a really nice size to move and transport, while still capable of giving good views.
